Description
Cast: Andrew Rakowski, David Easteal, Cheri LeCornu
One of the year’s great cinematic revelations is this minimalist epic, filmed almost entirely from the backseat of a sedan on the Melbourne highway. A middle-aged barrister commutes home from work, calls his mom and wife, and is sometimes joined by a younger coworker (director Easteal). Over the course of several rides, we come to know these often unseen characters as deeply as if they were in our own lives.
