Description

[Machine Translation] [Today's pig is tomorrow's bacon." The shadow of serial murder looms over a long-distance meat driver who is alone in the wilderness. The shadow of a series of murders looms over the long-distance meat driver as he races alone through the wilderness. The fear approaches with the thawing of the pig's corpse. Never look in the freezer. Pigs are enough for processed meat. [Director Richard Franklin, the "Hitchcock of Australia," dedicates his masterpiece to all loners in this spectacular "cryogenic soliloquy suspense". Australian genius Richard Franklin won the Grand Prix at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival with his psychic horror film "Patrick" ('78). The Road Game" ( 81 ) is a suspenseful road movie set in the vast Australian landscape and pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece "Back Window" ( 54 ), which he admires so much. At the time of its release, it was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Foreign Film and was highly acclaimed by critics, but in Japan it was completely ignored and was not released in theaters. However, the film has been enthusiastically received by movie fans as a film in which director Franklin's unique sense of style shines through even among the unique Australian films such as "Staggered Foot in the Wilderness" ( 71 ), "Picnic at Hanging Rock" ( 75 ), "Piano Lesson" ( 93 ), and the "Mad Max" series. The film, which has been enthusiastically received by movie fans, will finally be released for the first time in Japanese theaters in 2025. The film is a fusion of "Back Window" and Steven Spielberg's "Clash" ('71). ('71), the fear that no one will believe them, and the relentless pursuit that goes on and on. The mass of pigs hanging from the car and the empty wilderness location are also appealing. Quentin Tarantino has also listed "Road Game" as one of his favorite Australian films, exclaiming that "Road Game" could be remade tomorrow and everyone would still tremble with fear, even if they didn't change any of the dialogue. It's a great movie. --The film is set in the wilds of Australia, in the middle of nowhere. One day, Quid, a long-haul truck driver carrying frozen pig carcasses alone, sees a green van carrying a female hitchhiker. But when the woman is later found as a victim of dismemberment and murder, Quid, convinced of the culprit, begins tracking the van and becomes haunted by the delusions he has developed in the solitude of the van, hallucinating and spurred on by his habitual soliloquy. Then, perhaps as a result of his behavior, Quid becomes suspicious of him and is forced into an unbelievable situation.... The Japanese trailer is included as a video bonus.
