The movie is Japanese Story and stars Toni Collette, as Sandy,
and Gotaro Tsunashima as Hiromitsu. Sandy is a software expert
but when her partner volunteers her to take Hiromitsu under
her wing he mistakes her for just being a driver.
Needless to say our Sandy doesn't like the sexist chap from
Japan and their relationship is cool beyond freezing point.
He orders her around and demands to be taken way off the beaten
track in the Pilbara where they proceed to get bogged and
are forced to work together to stay alive.
This marks a turning point between the pair and they begin
to recognize that they may have things in common that they
would not have dreamt of the day before.
We'll say no more on the plot, but it is simple, yet gripping,
and certainly comes out of left field.
The photography is utterly superb with bold stark colours
and glorious landscapes. But despite the imagery it is the
relationship between the pair that will grab you.
The video transfer is terrific and shows off the stunning
camerawork. An excellent soundtrack is well back-up by a clean
sound.
Conclusion: Movie 80% Extras 30%
