If you are looking for a powerful piece of drama on the big screen rather than a CGI blockbuster this summer, Holding The Man could well be the film for you.
Holding The Man
Holding The Man marks the return of Neil Armfield to the director's chair for his first film since Candy a decade ago.
The movie is based on the memoir by Timothy Conigrave and has been adapted into a screenplay by Tommy Murphy.
Holding The Man is set to hit the big screen at the beginning of next month and here is the brand new trailer to take a look at:
Ryan Corr and Craig Stott take on the central roles of Tim and John and are joined on the cast list by Geoffrey Rush, Kerry Fox, Camilla Ah Kin, Sarah Snook, Guy Pearce and Anthony Lapaglia.
Holding The Man is the warm, funny and achingly sad story of the 15-year long love affair between Timothy Conigrave and the boy he fell in love with at high school, John Caleo. Tim was an aspiring actor. John, the captain of the school football team.
Their relationship blossomed and endured in the face of prejudice, adversity and the cruel illness that devastated the gay community in the '80s.
Holding The Man looks set to be a powerful, moving, and funny drama that really is not to be missed this summer.
Holding The Man is released 3rd June.
