Prime Mover

Big dreams, harsh reality and a quirky fantasy make up the engine of David Caesar's likeable new film, in which a prime mover is the prime motivation of his pie-in-the-sky protagonist. It is hard to believe it has been 7 years since Caesar's last film, the urban black thriller Dirty Deeds which also juxtaposes drama with comedy. This time, rural Australia forms the setting and black comedy is replaced by a fantasy element. It begins with 'Once upon a time in a town called Dubbo,' and is what you might call, a rural fairy tale. Caesar is good at his craft and instantly engages us into a world of immaculately polished trucks, long nights behind the wheel and endless stretches of highway that blaze into the barren, red-ochre landscape. Like all good fairy tales, there are good and bad characters, as well as a central love story that grounds things as surely as the tyres on a prime mover.
