Sen (who also shoots, scores and edits) goes walkabout through the minefield of contemporary Australian culture, offering an evocative snapshot of an unravelling crime scene - social, racial and economic.
A superior and taut outback adventure, you'd have to go back to Samson and Delilah to find an Australian feature this bonsa.
Slow-burning but very powerful.
Mystery Road is a detective story that unspools with languid menace on the widescreen of the Australian Outback.
Director Ivan Sen's fourth feature evokes old westerns, Polanski's Chinatown and other noir classics, but still feels grounded in the dust and dried blood of the Australian soil.
This sand-blasted Aussie murder mystery tinkers with genre convention while managing to remain sincere and thrilling.
