Babadook Director Defends Sexual Assault Scenes In Controversial New Movie

Sexual assault is a theme that is difficult to confront in a manner that audiences at large will find acceptable. Even if based on historical events and precedent, theres a line that exists between what counts as enough and what counts as too much, as The Nightingale writer/director Jennifer Kent has just found out first hand.

After the latest film from the writer/director of The Babadook received some negative press for inciting several audience members to walk out of The Nightingale, Kent spoke towards these events in a statement that included the below remarks:

I do not believe this would be happening if the film was at all gratuitous or exploitative. Whilst The Nightingale contains historically accurate depictions of colonial violence and racism towards our Indigenous people, the film is not about violence Weve made this film in collaboration with Tasmanian Aboriginal elders, and they feel its an honest and necessary depiction of their history and a story that needs to be told. I remain enormously proud of the film.

From the early reports that have come out of The Nightingales early screenings, there are apparently repeated instances where a character is being sexually assaulted on screen. But the rage towards Jennifer Kents depiction of that horrific act isnt based around the act itself, but instead it seems to be pertaining to the frequency of the act included in the film.

This criticism was most bluntly expressed by an audience member who, during the films premiere in Sydney this past Sunday, exclaimed upon her exit, "Im not watching this. Shes already been raped twice. And yet, Jennifer Kent is resolute in the film shes presented the audience, as she told The Independent in her remarks, enforcing that the atrocities shes put onto film were historically accurate.

The Nightingales overall story isnt centered around this particular event though, as Aisling Franciosis protagonist Clare is pursuing a Lieutenant Hawkins, a British officer played by The Hunger Games Sam Claflin, through Australia in 1825. Her quest to find this man is rooted in the fact Hawkins has murdered her husband and infant child, and basically gotten away with these acts.

With a story that grim and brutal, much as The Babadook before it, its almost a surprise that The Nightingale would catch such fire for depicting the subject of sexual assault. But with various films in the past using that very theme as threadbare justification for character motivations, the discomfort a repeated execution of such an act on the screen would incite is a pretty big discussion point.

It can be assumed that distributor IFC films will stand by Jennifer Kents statement, and will release The Nightingale without any alteration. But if enough audience members complain, there might be a push for both parties to discuss a re-edited version of the film. And while most audience petitions these days are for frivolous matters, this might be one that catches fire, in hopes of boosting the films distribution prospects.

For now, it should be advised that if any potential audience member for The Nightingale has an aversion to sexual assault depicted in film, this just isnt going to be a film for them.

The Nightingale is slated for debut in limited release on August 2nd, with a nationwide expansion to follow at an undetermined date.






Black Panther, Ant-Man and The Wasp and Captain Marvel put people of color and women in the spotlight, while the latter will be Marvel's first female-led superhero movie. But DC got ahead of Marvel on that one, as Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman arrived in theaters back in 2017.
