Their lives are inextricable entwined but they never talk about the things that really matter. Their deepest emotions, especially those surrounding the death of their infant son, remain unspoken, revealing themselves only in their dreams. And the bush itself is a character. The surrounding countryside is created as a threatening presence.
Eerie music adds to the sense of apprehension and uncertainty.
Sound is used well throughout, to highlight the tension as lives unravel in the build up to the disturbing climax. The performances are great, especially that of veteran actor Ray Barrett, and the country is revealed to wonderful effect through the cinematography of Martin McGrath. All rights reserved.
