A beautiful Australian film that tells the story of a man who re-understands the meaning of life and re-evaluates it as he approaches death.
Rex, a taxi driver in broken hill, learns that he has very little time left to live due to his illness. He decides to go to darwin in the north of australia to be euthanised in a clinic in order to die the way he wants. The people rex encounters on the road cause him to question life and to re-evaluate his whole life with its good and bad sides.
It was a film I watched randomly. Of course, to his credit, michael caton was the important factor in my hand going to the play button. So it met more than my expectations. I think if i were to recommend an australian film to someone, i would start with this one. Because there is road adventure, there is friendship, there is comedy, there is sadness and most importantly there is life and death. It is fun to see the Australian outback. The acting is great; especially the Australian native actor who plays Tilley is of a quality we would like to see in many films. The story is sad but thought-provoking about euthanasia and open to discussion. It was a nice coincidence that I watched Mar Adentro a few days ago and this one came on top of it.
