Synopsis

Jindabyne, in the southeast section of New South Wales, was moved to its current site from its original site upon the building of a hydroelectric dam, the resulting reservoir, Lake Jindabyne, which now sits atop the original townsite. Among its residents are a group of friends who socialize together: married Stewart and Claire, a service station owner/former race car driver and a pharmacist respectively, and their school age son Tommy; married Carl and Jude, who have been guardians to their granddaughter Caylin-Calandria, Tommy's friend and disruptive classmate, ever since her mother's passing; Rocco and his new Aboriginal girlfriend, Carmel, a teacher at Tommy and Caylin-Calandria's school; and young parents Billy and Elissa, Billy who works casually as a mechanic for Stewart.

Despite Stewart and Claire loving each other, there has long been disharmony in their household. Claire left for eighteen months following Tommy's birth due to postpartum depression. Then, Stewart's mother moved to Jindabyne to look after Tommy, but still undermines Claire as a parent. And Claire doesn't like Stewart's closed emotional state, she who just wants them all to connect as human beings. As they do every year, the four men embark on a multi-day fly fishing trip to a remote section of the river.

Shortly upon their arrival, Stewart discovers the dead body of a young Aboriginal woman in the river. What the men decide to do, or not to do, ends up receiving the wrath of general populace, but especially that of the Aboriginal community. It also has the potential to tear the friendship among this group, as well as Stewart and Claire's marriage, apart. Through it all, Claire, in that want for human connection, does what she believes is the right thing, which is not always met with what is her intent.

3/10

The soundtrack of Jindabyne missed the opportunity to incorporate cultural elements that could have enriched the storytelling experience. Given the film's setting in a town with a significant Aboriginal population, the music could have explored indigenous sounds and rhythms to create a more authentic and immersive atmosphere. Instead, the soundtrack felt generic and disconnected from the film's unique cultural context.

The soundtrack of Jindabyne felt disconnected from the emotional depth of the storyline. The music did not effectively capture the tension and complexity of the relationships portrayed in the film. It lacked the ability to enhance the viewer's immersion into the characters' struggles and conflicts.
