Very Australian, Japanese Story is a wonderfully
atmospheric story of finding out
who you really are, Toni
Collette headlines as geologist
Sally Edwards who finds herself
having to accompany visiting
Japanese businessman Tachibana
Hiromitsu (Gotaro Tsunashima) on
a tour around key mining sites
in Perth’s Pilbara region
(with the hope of selling his
company some computer software).
The first half of the movie is full of clashes of culture
amidst the stunning backdrop of
the Perth outback, dusty country
towns, you can almost feel the
hairs of the back of your neck
burning, although get no real
sense of why Hiromitsu is even
in Australia, acting as he does
like a wide eyed tourist.
