Storyline
In early 1997 Anu Singh, a beautiful law student at the Australian National University, confides in friends that she plans to kill herself to put an end to a mysterious illness. With doctors unable or unwilling to help, Anu’s engineer boyfriend, Joe Cinque, attempts to get to the bottom of her condition. But Anu’s mental and emotional state disintegrates, and her plans grow more macabre.
Joe Cinque’s Consolation by award winning filmmaker Sotiris Dounoukos, is the adaptation of Helen Garner’s best-selling account of these true-life events: an examination of collective and individual responsibility, and a crime that shocked Australia.
