JAPANESE STORY (2003)

Director: Sue Brooks

Writer: Alison Tilson

Toni Collette as Sandy
Gotaro Tsunashima as Tachibana
Also Lynette Curran, Kate Atkinson, John Howard

A sublime film set in the far north-west Pilbarra region of Australia. Sandy is at first hesitant to play tour guide to the very stiff Tachibana, and they grate against each other. But then fear and landscape push them closer together, with amazing cinematic results. Constantly suprising, subtle, unique.
