KOKO RECOMMENDS! RESTORATION! Nova Film Club host Koko presents Cate Shortland's feature debut starring Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington and Lynette Curran in a gothic Australian drama of a young woman who settles in a small mountain community after fleeing her hometown.

Koko says about SOMERSAULT, "Some movies radiate an energy which stays with you long after you watch it. SOMERSAULT is unquestionably one of those films for me. Conjuring a sense of bright-eyed naivety, Shortland’s film also has a rare gentleness in its delivery. A coming-of-age tale that explores sexual discovery, its setting among the snow-tipped peaks of Jindabyne adds a physical chill to the overall melancholy. Abbie Cornish’s performance is also one of the most vulnerable and memorable in modern Australian cinema; you won’t soon forget her or Shortland’s film in a hurry."
