Breath

Based on the award-winning, international best-selling novel by Tim Winton, Simon Baker's directorial debut BREATH follows two teenage boys, Pikelet and Loonie (newcomers Samson Coulter and Ben Spence in breakthrough performances), growing up in a remote corner of the Western Australian coast.

Hungry for discovery, the pair form an unlikely friendship with Sando (Simon Baker), a mysterious older surfer and adventurer who pushes the boys to take risks that will have a lasting and profound impact on their lives.

Also starring Elizabeth Debicki and Richard Roxburgh, BREATH is an authentic coming-of-age drama set in an idyllic 1970s coastal Australia.

Critic Reviews:

• " Thirteen-year-old Bruce Pike, aka Pikelet, is thoughtful and sensitive. His best mate, Ivan Loon, aka Loonie, is a scallywag who runs wild and is up for anything. But from day one, they're both in thrall to the primal joy of surfing. " – Andiee Paviour

• " There's a richness to cinematographer Arnaud Potier‎'s work here that mirrors the depth of the characters, often times operating in various shades of blue and making evocative use of the natural light he lets in. " – Stephen Saito

• " Baker proves himself a talented director; he manages the rolling rhythms of his waves and his story with skill. " – Johanna Schneller
