I saw this film last year at the Dendy Cinemas in Sydney and it blew me away. I'm surprised to finally see it listed here. One of the most powerful films I have ever seen, the characters remain with you long after.
The way the stories are integrated really works...this film follows the story of three young people and their lives, and I can't remember all their names but the bloke who breaks down at the station is really exceptional. He's got a future in acting...there's one scene in a car park that I think is one of the landmark scenes in Australian film.
Anyways, I really do praise this film. In the last few years, we have seen some very bad Australian movies, but I remember after seeing The Finished People, it reminded of how powerful Aussie movies can be, and also. I think this director is very talented and is someone to look out for.
