Biography
Justin Kurzel is an Australian film director known for formally audacious, genre-spanning work. Born in 1974, he directed Snowtown (2011), a brutal true-crime film, followed by Macbeth (2015), a grimy Shakespearean adaptation. He then helmed the video-game adaptation Assassin's Creed (2016) and the revisionist Kelly Gang film True History of the Kelly Gang (2018). Kurzel continued with Nitram (2021) and The Order (2024), cementing a pattern of moving between indie intensity and major studio projects. As a screenwriter and director, Kurzel's work emphasizes visual storytelling and psychological depth over conventional narrative comfort. A Leo born in August 1974 [F1, enrichments], his life-path number 5 reflects a director drawn to transformation and bold creative risk [enrichments]. His Australian background frames a filmography unafraid of local subject matter—Snowtown and True History of the Kelly Gang both reclaim Australian criminal history through art-house formal language.
