Tonight's movie was 'Tom White'. Heard of it? No?? Thought as much. It was released a few years ago in Australia, and the main reason I bought it was that the title track and film score is by one of my all time favourite singer / song writers Paul Kelly. I don't think it got much if any exposure outside Australia. I don't think it got much exposure in Australia either. Tom White is a draughtsman, married with 2 children but slowly his world collapses around him as he suffers a mental breakdown. One day he finally cracks and decides to simply drop out of society. From here he goes on a journey into the underbelly of Melbourne and through the film each person he meets becomes a mini sub-plot exploring their world. A rent boy, a recovering heroin addict, a homeless tramp and a 14 year old graffiti artist. Nothing much good happens in any of these peoples lives. Finally he gets caught up unwittingly in the capture of a serial thief and after identifying himself as a person who has previously been reported missing he has to make a choice. To carry on in this world, or to go back home.
