    Beautiful movie, visually, emotionally and humanely. What to say here? It's a road movie about a father and son played by Paul Hogan and Shane Jacobson respectively. After the untimely death of their wife and mother, the two end up on a long cross country journey to go fishing at the northern tip of Australia. They have previously never gotten on together, their differences seemingly impossible to put aside, but this trip will bring about many revelations, truths, pains and maybe even laughter? The Australian landscape photography (Roger Lanser) is as stunning as the simplicity of screen...
