Following premieres at Cannes and SXSW, catch the wave with Oscar winner Nicolas Cage in the Western Australia-set psychological thriller, THE SURFER, from director Lorcan Finnegan. Filmed in on the Western Australia coastal town of Yallingup, Cage plays a man who returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son. But his desire to hit the waves is thwarted by a group of locals whose mantra is “don’t live here, don’t surf here.” Humiliated and angry, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising in concert with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him to his breaking point. Delivering “one of his best performances” (The Telegram), Cage is at the top of his game in his first film set in Australia.
