The Rover
With a clear nod to George Miller's "Mad Max" trilogy and a cinéma vérité approach, David Michôd has every reason to celebrate his return to active duty after his brilliant debut ("Animal Kingdom") in 2010.
10 years after the global economic meltdown, human societies are impoverished and fragmented. Somewhere in the desolate Australian land, Eric is sitting at a bar, when three men, Archie, Caleb and Henry, abandon their truck and steal his car.
Eric decides to hunt them down and, before long, he finds an unexpected ally in the face of Ray, Henry's brother who the gang left for dead. Having both lost the last of what they held dear - for Eric it's his car, for Ray the love of his brother - they set off on a marginally existential journey, hoping to get back what's theirs.
With a clear nod to George Miller's "Mad Max" trilogy and a cinéma vérité approach, David Michôd has every reason to celebrate his return to active duty after his brilliant debut ("Animal Kingdom") in 2010.
In his sophomore film, Guy Pierce and Robert Pattinson deliver career-defining performances, while Antony Partos' score ideally accentuates the desolate beauty of a film that opened in competition at the last Cannes Film Festival. K.Th.
