i’ve seen quite a lot of movies with toni collette in it and i think she’s a brilliant actress, but last sunday when i watched the Japanese Story…i became a fan!
i’ve seen the movie about two sundays ago and i still can’t stop thinking about it, and it isn’t because i liked the story but because it was so real and painful. i like happy endings so this movie will not be on my favorite lists but i will never forget this movie because of the emotions i felt while watching it.
the story took place in the pilbara desert, they spent the night in the freezing desert when their vehicle was stuck on red sand. it’s where they emerged as a couple eventhough they didn’t speak each other’s language. i won’t say anything else, i don’t wanna be a spoiler! but this i tell you… the movie is unpredictable and hard-edged, beautiful even. i love this movie!
