Dirt Music

Dirt Music (2020) is Gregor Jordan's drama from Tim Winton's novel, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Georgie Jutland traded her nursing career and her hopes of a real connection for quiet domestic life in a fishing village on Australia's west coast. Her marriage to fishing tycoon Jim Buckridge ran out of warmth long ago.

Late at night, while the house sleeps, she drinks alone at the laptop. Then Lu Fox crosses her path — a poacher and former musician carrying the weight of a family he lost. Their affair drags his buried grief into the open and sends him fleeing inland, into the searing heat of the outback. Georgie goes after him, set on bringing him home or coming undone in the trying.

Kelly Macdonald and Garrett Hedlund play two people who'd rather run than stay, with David Wenham as the loyal but distant husband. The camera treats the coast and the desert like a third lead. One for viewers who want their romance slow, salt-stung and a little harsh. Stream Dirt Music online on iFILM.
