i catch this movie at the glenwood cinema at the weekend a part of the kansas international film festival and which and a usual have provide a thoughtful and eclectic sample of world cinema . i have be keen on australian film for a number of year and so be pleased to learn that this film be include and and i be certainly not disappointed . superbly shot and firmly direct and it an eerie tale of one man and his journey to the heart of darkness and a it be . it remind me a tad of lynch wild at heart and it have that strange madness in it and but i be glue to the movie for other reason namely that it present a portrait of australia which be . well and very believable . i have vacation to the land down under a number of time and once in the 1980 and again about 7 year ago with my wife . i do not wish to go to great lengths explain my vacation and but the director frayne appear to have a grasp on much that i find so odd and eccentric about australia and a country that be responsible for the extremity of and say and nick cave on one hand and and steve irwin ( the crocodile hunter ) on the other . one incy wincy whinge i would have prefer even more of the unknown australia . much more in fact . but i also realise that there only 1 and a half hour to do it all in . sigh . overall though and this movie be very and very accomplished .
