    Movie Quotes:


    Trivia: There are 11 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • The Tasmanian Tiger, also known as the Tasmanian Wolf, thylacine or Thylacinus cynocephalus, the latter which is Greek for “dog-headed pouched one”, is an extinct species of carnivorous marsupial. It is so called a Tasmanian Tiger because of the stripes on its back.
    • The film's source novelist Julia Leigh is also a writer-director herself, writing and directing Sleeping Beauty, another Australian movie released in the same year as this film. Leigh however did not actually work on the screenplay nor direct this film.
    • First feature film directed by Daniel Nettheim since Angst, a gap of about eleven years. Nettheim has worked in television during the interim.
