Description

Against the background of an Australian desert landscape, so much space and so few people, Sandy, a geologist, and Hiromitsu, a Japanese businessman, play out a story of human inconsequence in the face of the blistering universe. The end of the journey leaves no-one capable of going back to where they started from.

Some plot devices are pretty stupid and irritating. But the photography is great in an understated way. And most of all Toni Collette is wonderful in a truly authentic way. And the movie gives you the opportunity to see that. It gives you the chance to actually see the bits that usually get cut away.
