i really liked this film

I have to disagree with the general sentiment of the reviews for this film. I found it captivating. It is actually the closest thing to a dream -- our countries cinema has produced. The cinematography is luscious -- but it is more the way things play out in the frame that make this film the work of a filmmaker with real talent.

The pointlessness of his journey does feel futile: but that is the point. It's an internal study of image, alienation etc not a film about action and consequence.

Other really great Australian films I love include "The Coca Cola Kid" "Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith" "The cars that ate Paris" "Sweetie" "The Well" "Puberty blues" and "Life". Of course "The Night the prowler" is also really interesting for those not looking for conventional drama.
