Synopsis
Japanese Story (2003) — watch online on iFILM, an Australian drama directed by Sue Brooks. Toni Collette plays Sandy, a geologist reluctantly assigned to drive a Japanese businessman, Hiromitsu, through the remote Pilbara desert of Western Australia.
They dislike each other immediately. He is stiff, condescending and unused to taking direction from a woman; she is loud, direct and unused to being ignored. When their vehicle sinks in sand dozens of kilometres from anywhere, neither can opt out. What develops between them is one kind of story. The film then turns, sharply, into something else. Collette took home the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress for this performance, and the second half is the reason why. Watch Japanese Story (2003) online on iFILM.
