Feature Narrative/2022/USA/96min/Directed by Robert Machoian
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Multi-award-winning director Machoian (The Killing of Two Lovers, Revelation 2021) returns with a haunting feature that explores family, masculinity and ethics.
Set in the rural landscape of the US mid-west, the film follows the titular Chambers (Clayne Crawford, also seen in Machoian’s previous feature) on a solo hunting trip.
Beautifully shot and edited, with powerful performances, The Integrity of Joseph Chambers is a contemporary yet timeless character piece, that makes for compelling viewing.
“It is a fascinating movie about a man who wants to do the right thing in an abstract fantastical way then gets asked to do the right thing in a concrete inescapable way, and we’re along with him every step of the journey.” – Sean Fallon, Film Inquiry
