"Stranger Place"

In addition to the characters, the most important character in the film is the Australian desert. In a seemingly vast but irritable and closed environment, the relationship between people is like seeing no one in the wild sand dance, even if you considered the most familiar.

Female director Kim Farrant did not hesitate to intersperse this environment with various expressions in her debut work, and the effect was good; if the narrative integrity was abandoned, a certain degree of logic and visibility would inevitably be lost. But the conclusion is not important, just like in real life, there are no answers to many things, or the answers you know are not "true", and in the end it is left to face it.

Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman once again dedicates a strong ability to integrate the environment and the ability to penetrate the role, although the role of Kathleen is already a familiar type to her. The film is paid one dollar only to support Australian independent films, and its consistent support for art and courageous exploration is still commendable.

In addition, I watched the film "Outback Horror", which was shortlisted in the main competition unit of Cannes in 1971. I think of several works of Peter Weir in the 1970s, and the mysterious temperament has continued in the blood of Australian local films. 2016/2/28

Strangerland quotes

  • Lily Parker: Touch in the dark. No one can see. Touch in the dark. You... touch me.

  • [last lines]

    Lily Parker: There is a stillness in the air, and I'm in it. There are no sounds, no whispers, no shadows, no darkness. And just for a moment, there is no 'you', no 'me'. And I'm not lost.
