An interesting approach to tell both the story itself and the story of how it came to be written. It saved something that could have been rather relentlessly bleak by interspersing it with Australian sunshine; and it did show how the repercussions of the events still resonated over the following years. The flashbacks were sometimes out of order, which made things hard to follow at times, although this was perhaps an editorial decision to intentionally disorient the viewer? It was certainly gruesome in parts but not sensationist. Some things seem to be skipped over for narrative reasons but the was some good acting, especially by Harvey Keitel.
