Filip and his friend Fredrik Wikingsson (self) plan an elaborate road trip to help Lars rekindle his love for life. This includes buying an old Citroen 4 car previously used in family trips and retrace the journey from Sweden to Lars’ favourite spot on earth along the coast in France. Things do not start well.

After an initial reluctance to hit the road, Lars agrees but soon suffers a fall and becomes hospitalised with a broken bone. This puts the trip on hold but it eventually resumes. Due to the film being based on real people, it is filled with actual photos and video footage of the family during their younger years. This divulges information on how much Lars loved life and how much he has slipped.

The story is told in flashbacks and reproductions of moments held dear by the participants and they are very moving. The recovery of Lars is also told in small increments and this makes it much more emotionally impactful. It also makes it easier to root for his resurgence. The Last Journey is a touching examination of the love between father and son and a great example of the extraordinary moments found in even the most ordinary of lives.

Dog is a buddy comedy that follows the misadventures of two former Army Rangers paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime.

Army Ranger Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier’s funeral on time.

Along the way, they’ll drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.

Dog will be released in Australian cinemas 2022!
