The Melbourne International Film Festival is coming up to its 65th year and has announced it will begin proceedings with a world premiere of The Death And The Life Of Otto Bloom.
The Cris Jones directed film chronicles the life of Otto Bloom, an extraordinary man who experiences time in reverse – passing backwards through the years while remembering the future.
Bloom is played by Xavier Samuel (Twilight), while Matilda Brown (Rake) and Rachel Ward (Against All Odds) will also play prominent roles. The Death And The Life Of Otto Bloom will be showcased at Hamer Hall on Thursday July 28.
