The Narrow Road to the Deep North is adapted from Richard Flanagan's novel that won the prestigious Booker Prize for fiction in 2014. It movingly explores the memories of Australian doctor Dorrigo Evans as he recollects his younger life as a prisoner of war, together with the loves, losses and betrayals that have dogged him into later life.
Jacob Elordi takes the title role, which adds yet another dimension to a varied career that has already seen him take on Elvis Presely in Priscilla, the posh object of infatuation in Saltburn, and co-starring with Margot Robbie as Heathcliff in an upcoming version of Wuthering Heights. The Oscar-nominated Ciarán Hinds (Belfast) and promising young pair of Australian actors Odessa Young (The Daughter) and Olivia DeJonge (The Society) are also in an impressive cast.
