Japanese Story

Australia 2003, 106 minutes
Dir. Sue Brooks
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Independent

Aroview: Winner of 8 AFI-awards, this laconic, but emotionally rich drama makes a brilliant most of its slender road-trip scenario.

Colette plays an Australian geologist who must assist a Japanese businessman across the Australian outback. While their personal and cultural antipathy simmers in the background, a series of unpredictable crises carries the storyline towards its abrasive final twists. A treat for patient viewers.

4 stars (Very Good) Geologist, Sandy, hoping to strike up a business deal is required to take a visiting Japanese businessman on a trip into the Australian outback. The strangers find themselves thrust together in a potentially life or death situation. Film of many layers. ~GenXGirl
