After seventeen years away from the director’s chair, Australian filmmaker Jocelyn Moorhouse (Proof, A Thousand Acres) is currently back behind the camera shooting her long-in-development adaptation of Rosalie Ham’s bestselling novel, The Dressmaker.

Production has begun on the film at Docklands Studios Melbourne, with the director attracting a stellar cast for the project in Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth and Hugo Weaving.  

Winslet will essay Tilly Dunnage, a beautiful and talented misfit who, after many years working as a dressmaker in Parisian fashion houses, returns to her rural home town to right some wrongs of the past. Not only does she reconcile with her ailing mother (Davis) but armed with her sewing machine and haute couture style, transforms the women of the town and in so doing gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.

“I’ve waited years to make this movie” said Moorhouse of the film which has been described as a bittersweet comedy. “It’s about my favourite subjects: revenge, love and creativity. I’m deeply grateful to have such extraordinary actors working on this with me.”

Joining the lead actors are an ensemble cast that includes Caroline Goodall, Shane Bourne, Kerry Fox, Rebecca Gibney, Sacha Horler, Shane Jacobson, and Sarah Snook among others.

The film’s crew is top class as well with Don McAlpine (Ender’s Game, X-Men: Wolverine) lensing the story, Jill Bilcock (Red Dog, Moulin Rouge!, Muriel’s Wedding) on editing duties and Oscar-nominated composer David Hirschfelder (Elizabeth, Shine) crafting the film’s score.

In addition to Melbourne, the film shoot in regional Victoria including Horsham and Mount Rothwell.

The Dressmaker will be released in Australia by Universal Pictures International.
