Synopsis
Burning Man (2011) is an Australian-British drama by Jonathan Teplitzky you can watch online on iFILM. Matthew Goode plays Tom, a British chef running a Bondi Beach restaurant; Essie Davis, Kerry Fox and Rachel Griffiths appear among the women trying, in very different ways, to keep him in one piece.
Tom is dissolving. He drinks, sleeps around, picks fights for no visible reason, and the people who care about him keep getting burned. Teplitzky cuts the film in fragments — jagged intercutting between Tom's present-tense chaos and glimpses of a different life just before everything changed. The grief underneath only comes into focus slowly, and that delay is what gives the film its gut-punch. For viewers who respond to emotional architecture over clean narrative, this one earns its ending. Stream Burning Man online on iFILM.
