SYNOPSIS:

One man sees another man running towards him.

The implications of this deceptively simple, Kafkaesque premise, are explored in Two Men through Claude; a bloke sitting on the fence under the beating sun.

Set in the river town of Fitzroy Crossing, deep in the Northern Western Australian desert, Two Men is part riddle, part philosophy and part suspense; a short film which attests to the impossibility of knowing and the compulsiveness of wondering.

“Dominic Allen’s Two Men proves that the simplest scenario can provide the perfect premise for conveying the most profound insights. But his key achievement is to understand that even the largest ideas are best told with brevity and the most serious with humour” - MIFF 2009 Jury member DebVerhoeven.
