Tracks directed by John Curran, Mia Wasikowska, Adam Driver

Adapted from Robyn Davidson's memoirs, Tracks, is the story of one women's trek across a forbidding Australian backdrop from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean. In tow, and the crux for Davidson, are four camels and her faithful dog. Stubbornly simplistic in her outlook, Robyn (Mia Wasikowska) shies away from photographer Rick Smolan (Adam Driver) who records her journey for National Geographic, and in moments of anger the increased interest of well-wishers who want to take her picture. Through sacred aboriginal terrain she is accompanied by an elder, Mr Eddie - women are not permitted to roam free or kill wildlife - where each earns the respect of the other. The pace is expertly handled by director John Curran, while Marion Nelson's unobtrusive script gives Davidson's account central focus. This is an absorbing and moving film, in the slow revelation of Davidson's background, her complex relationship with Smolan and in the progress towards her goal.
