Japenese Story charms and entertains us
Japanese Story
Sue Brooks
Toni Collette, Gotaro Tsunashima, Matthew Dyktynski
15.
A brilliantly conceived story of survival and self-discovery in which Collette, a tough and demanding geologist, escorts a possible client (Tsunashima) around a mining operation and is talked into taking him deep into the surrounding desert; where danger lurks.
The joy of the film is that it is never what it seems and never goes in expected directions. There are constant surprises along the way; and there is a stunningly inventive performance from Collette.
Once again the Australians have come up with a little film which delights, charms and entertains us, and treats us as grown-ups!
5/5
