6/10
Brilliant then absurd

Warning: Spoilers
You've got a film where the first 75 mins is brilliant. Then inexplicably it totally looses itself and descends into absurdly.

When you've got two young people wandering around the outback at 100 degrees in school uniforms, long socks, jackets, ties etc what else can you think.

Then there's the chap in the village who doesn't seem concerned when these young lunatics turn up on his doorstep in the middle of nowhere from nowhere.

Then you've got a young man who the women is in love with committing suicide amd she never bat's an eyelid.

She carries on as if he was never there.

The visual splendor and ambiance is totally ruined by the last 20 minutes.

This film shouid have been a classic.

Instead, it's ludicrous.
