lan-ta-na camara (lan-táyna,-téana) n. a noxious and troublesome weed with dense and spiky undergrowth, sometimes cultivated for its colourful aromatic flowers.

A woman disappears. Four marriages are drawn into a tangled web of love, deceit, sex and death.
Not all of them will survive. l a n t a n a is an astounding piece of contemporary Australian cinema, written by leading Australian playwright Andrew Bovell, and based on his internationally produced play, Speaking In Tongues.

l a n t a n a is an intriguing psychological drama about love, infidelity and mistrust. It's about the mistakes we make, the consequences we suffer and the attempts we make to fix things up along the way.

l a n t a n a is Ray Lawrence's triumphant return to filmmaking after a 16 year hiatus following his controversial, acclaimed and ahead-of-its-time adaptation of Peter Carey's Bliss, seen around the world in 1985/6.

In l a n t a n a , he combines with this countries most respected producer, Jan Chapman (producer of The Piano, Love Serenade, and The Last Days of Chez-Nous amongst others), Andrew Bovell's tightly interwoven script, a haunting, moody score by Paul Kelly, and a remarkable ensemble cast who deliver career defining performances, to produce a film with an intelligent, distinctively Australian perspective on modern relationships.A mystery for grown ups.
