Watch Mia Wasikowska And Adam Driver In The Trailer For ‘Tracks’

Directed by John Curran and produced by the team behind The King’s Speech, Tracks stars Hollywood’s favourite Aussie export Mia Wasikowska as Robyn Davidson — an Australian icon who, in 1977 and at only 27 years of age, trekked across 2700km of outback with a dog and four camels. Her book of the same name was published in 1980, and played a crucial role in the developing understanding of how Aboriginal people thought about their land.

The movie — which follows five unsuccessful attempts to adapt the book — was shown earlier this year at the Toronto International Film Festival and in official competition at Venice, where it won acclaim from Variety and The Guardian. The Hollywood Reporter, who called it ” a stirring depiction of the clarity and self-discovery that can come with isolation in nature, and probably the best film of its kind since Sean Penn’s Into the Wild.”

Tracks co-stars Girls’ Adam Driver as photographer Rick Smolan, who met up periodically with Davidson during her nine-month journey; it also features Jessica Tovey (Wonderland, Adore, Paper Giants), Emma Booth (Parker, The Boys Are Back), and Rainer Bock (Inglourious Basterds, War Horse).
