This is a classic of Australian film-making.
Take a superb cast.
Mix in a wonderful screenplay drawn from a very intense book.
Then add a genius in the soundtrack/background sounds dept. and you have a film rich in suspense, paced as only a cast of this calibre can.
Don't expect car chases (although you get some rough and tumble stuff in cars).
Just expect a rare beauty that captures the starkness and loneliness of the Australian bush...and teaches us all something about the tyranny of distance!
