The way the story unfolds is just tragically brilliant and it couldn’t have been done better. The tension in each and every scene, not to mention the score and cinematography deserve a lot of praise. This film didn’t even receive a limited distribution release in the US.

It might have just caught me on an off night. I hated Re-Animator the first time I saw it, now think its an amazing flick.

I’ve seen it four times now, and I’m convinced it’s one of the most economical screen stories I’ve seen — much more than you might think at first glance (hence the bit where I say “though it may fool you in a few scenes”…).

I’ll readily admit I love glacially-paced movies (I considered Walkabout as a follow-up to this film, but thought maybe I should take it easy on everybody’s brains for a week, including my own). But I’ve never thought The Proposition was one of them.

Saw it in the theaters and the pace seemed very slow to me.

That being said this movie has a very good atmosphere. I felt the dirt and heat of the Australian outback. Also, the incredible amounts of flies on people kinda grossed me out. And John Hurt was awesome.

I did think The Road was an amazing movie that should have been at least nominated for some awards last year.
