Juniper
Film (Trailer) – 2021
You have a broken leg and you and dad hate each other.– Sam (George Ferrier) sums up Ruth's situation as he sees it
Most people like sunsets. I love the sunrise.– Ruth (Charlotte Rampling) isn't one to run with the crowd
It was one of the strongest most beautifully written scripts I had read in a long time, and I connected immediately with the fraught family relationships and Ruth and Sam’s ultimate love story.– Producer Angela Littlejohn on Juniper, NZ Film Commission website, 28 May 2021
I felt something special about Juniper. The script was beautifully crafted, it's strong, unsentimental and it pulls you in to its astonishing end. The characters are finely drawn, close to the heart. This is an auteur film, written by the director and with a smaller production team you can go on an adventure in a way you can’t do with big productions. I love this and I was deeply happy to return to New Zealand...– Actor Charlotte Rampling on her role as Ruth in Juniper, NZ Film Commission website, 28 May 2021
