Long Weekend (1978)

Remind me not to go camping on isolated beaches reached via inpenetrable woods.  Not that I am likely to.  The DVD of this Australian movie was beginning to gather dust, so I popped it in and a chilling message it bore.  A not-so-happily married young couple decide on a back-to-nature weekend away to try to rekindle their relationship, except nature fights back and wins.  Not that they had much respect for nature: they cut down trees, littered the environment, smashed an eagle egg, and shot a dugong.  Not smart!  As both the weekend and their fragile relationship continued to deteriorate, each tried to find an out -- with effectively scary results.  This was basically a two-hander and while I did not know of either actor, they successfully proved to me that man may be a minute speck in a chaotic universe.  It never pays to take one's isolated importance too seriously or for granted.
