.TheNightingale comes with a trigger warning.
Five years after the release of her breakout film The Babadook, Australian director Jennifer Kent is back with another harrowing horror flick—only this time, its subject isn’t likely to become a queer meme. Instead, The Nightingale’s true story details the dark history of colonization, rape, and torture central to Australia’s past. No memes here.
Trigger Warning: The content below deals with issues of sexual assault/violence. Our “little nightingale,” Clare, is the subject of Hawkins’ abuse in the film’s earliest moments. The Nightingale reportedly features “multiple brutal rape scenes in its first 30 minutes,” proving too much for some audience members to handle. While the film was only released in Australia on August 29, 2019, earlier screenings of The Nightingale saw countless audience members walking out of the film.
Still, Kent believes that scenes like these are essential. It was important to the director to showcase the realities of 1825s-era Tasmania, with all its painful violence and racism to boot. Yep, racism. Not only do audiences witness Clare’s abuse; we are later introduced to an Aboriginal guide, Billy , who also suffered at the hands of colonizers. He aids Clare in her plan for vengeance because he has been similarly violated—only this violation was one of mass Aboriginal genocide.
