"Road to Perth" (2021) Directed by Chad Peter #perth #australia #independentfilm
In a departure from my rather standard and rudimentary style of film reviews, here are five overall reasons for liking, if not loving, this beautifully independent creation. Whilst this will still be a spoiler light appraisal, I hope the following five nuggets of gold will whet your appetite to give this 82 minutes of your life sometime.
Disclaimer: I was in the “mood” for a film such as this and I’m a sucker for an accidental road trip story and so not surprisingly, I liked this very much indeed.
(1) Written and directed by Chad Peter (with both of his main stars noted with writing collaboration credits), Road to Perth moves very deliberately and very pleasingly at its own laconic and unhurried pace. Please don’t expect the long and lingering shots to cease any time soon and especially so the coastal vistas and beaches when they arrive. Chad Peter also acted as his own cinematographer (as well as Editor and Producer!) and so deserves all the kudos possible for having a vision for a film and presenting it so well and so in keeping with a slow, meditating road trip across Australia.
(2) Australia is a character all of her own and somewhat stripped back, out of season and not the coastal country often depicted bathed in Summer sunshine. The beaches duly arrive and whether it’s by sunlight or by sunset (sunsets seem to be a theme for the film) they are beautifully shot within the mood of the film at the time. Please also don’t discount the real life characters of the real towns such as Quorn or Mount Noorat, and away from Adelaide or the film’s final destination of Perth.
