The film is written and directed by Ivan Sen.
The Big Picture After debuting at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, Ivan Sen's Limbo is continuing to make the rounds. Recently, the feature screened at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. The film centers on Travis Hurley , a detective who tackles a 20-year-old cold case in the Australian outback. Sen wore many hats for the feature, including director, writer, co-producer, composer, and editor.
When speaking with Collider Editor-in-Chief Steve Wientraub, Baker shared the traits of Sen's work that he thought helped elevate Limbo. Baker first notes that Sen is "very considered" when he's on set, something that stands out to Baker because he, on the other hand, is "hyper-vigilant, and I’m scanning a lot of the time when I’m on a film set, and I’m thinking about a lot of different things, which can be a problem for me internally.
"Ivan is very considered with his whole approach to the way he makes a film, and it’s reflected in the economy of his shots and the way he shoots something. He comes to most stories, first of all, from a sense of place. That place was really strong and long in his mind before he even wrote this film, to construct the story around a specific place."
Simon Baker Felt Transported by the Cinematography Ultimately, Sen's approach with the cinematography paid off in Baker's eyes, who said that "it’s a portal into this world that I haven’t experienced and haven’t been to. It almost feels like science fiction." He also praises Sen's decision to shoot in black-and-white, because it gave the landscape a new way to stand out: "It feels like a lunar landscape at times.
