"Friends and Strangers" is a surrealist comedy film that explores the sense of dislocation, solitary isolation, and mental fatigue of contemporary Australians through the eyes of two middle-class millennials. Through a bold narrative structure and nuanced layers, the film showcases several fragments of the lives experienced by Alice and Ray, two nearly 30-year-olds who are still aimlessly drifting. Born into affluent families, they seem unable to navigate dull jobs, peculiar relationships, and half-baked entrepreneurial ventures. Forced to abandon their teenage dreams of becoming artists, both are striving to find a way to transform their advantages into something meaningful. However, in a society filled with choices based on virtual images, texts, and ideologies… where can authenticity and meaning be found? This sense of helpless yearning, the exploration in contemplation, and the ensuing misdirection captures the core of "Friends and Strangers."
