Ben Mendelsohn Una In Conversation Screenings

Madman Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn will visit Melbourne on Sunday June 11 for two special in conversation screenings of his latest film Una.

Hailed as one of Australia's most iconic actors, Mendelsohn rose to prominence in the film The Year My Voice Broke. He also appeared in the popular ABC drama Love My Way before owning the role of Pope in David Michôd's Animal Kingdom. Ben has since graced Hollywood with roles in The Dark Knight Rises, Killing Them Softly, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and recently won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Bloodline.

Mendelsohn will first arrive in Australia for the 2017 Sydney Film Festival, where he will attend the Australian premiere of Una and participate in a discussion after the film on Friday June 9 and a second in conversation on Saturday June 10. Following the Sydney Film Festival, Mendelsohn will travel to Melbourne for two in conversation screenings on Sunday June 11.

The first in conversation will take place on June 11 at the Astor Theatre at 4pm followed by a second in conversation at Cinema Nova at 6pm.

Una follows a young woman's journey to reclaim her past. Fifteen years earlier, Una ran away with an older man, Ray, a crime for which he was arrested and imprisoned. When she comes across a photo of him in a trade magazine, Una tracks him down and turns up at his workplace. Her abrupt arrival threatens to destroy Ray's new life and derail her stability. Unspoken secrets and buried memories surface as Una and Ray sift through the wreckage of the past. Their confrontation raises unanswered questions and unresolved longings. It will shake them both to the core. Una gazes into the heart of a devastating form of love and asks if redemption is possible.
Based on Scottish playwright David Harrower's much celebrated, Olivier Award-winning play Blackbird, Benedict Andrews' Una stars Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn as protagonists Una and Ray.

Una will be released June 22 around Australia.
