Review by Neil (posted on 1-Sep-2005)

Japanese Story is a film that is hard to classify. It is a love story, between an Australian geologist and a Japanese executive. It is set in the north of Western Australia in big country -- much bigger than the Japanese man can understand. But it doesn't come to a happy ending so it isn't a romance. The film turns with the death of the Japanese man in a waterhole. The remarkable performance by Toni Collette as the distraught lover dominates the final part of the film. Rarely has an actor shone quite as much.
