PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews Simon Baker, actor of the film Limbo.

Simon Baker, one of the lead characters in the film Limbo by Ivan Sen, in the Competition section at Berlinale 73, talks about the different narrative layers of the film, the bending of the cold case genre to a more dramatic and intimate story, his approach to the character and his future work as a film director, again.

Limbo: Detective Travis Hurley arrives in a small town in the Australian outback. The Hotel Limbo, which resembles a rocky grotto, proves to be perfect for his very own particular type of relaxation. But he has come here to investigate a case from 20 years ago for which the only evidence is a number of tape recordings: the unsolved murder of an Aboriginal girl named Charlotte Hayes. The residents are less than forthcoming regarding the provision of information; this is especially true of the victim’s fractured family. You do not talk to a cop, especially if he is white. But Hurley, in a stoic performance by Simon Baker, knows how to wend his way in his cool car through the labyrinthine landscape of the Opal Mountains and form a bond with the cave and caravan dwellers.
