Neither documentary nor fiction, Royston Tan`s feature-length version of an earlier, award-winning short is a gritty, disturbing portrait of Singapore`s forgotten youth. The film follows five teenage hoodlums as they go about their daily lives, which involve gangs, drugs, smuggling, violence, and lots of body modifications. The film is shot in a fast-paced, non-linear style that highlights the immediacy of the action, making it all the more unpalatable and difficult to watch. The desperation of the delinquents is immeasurable and captured beautifully (Tan has faced many accusations of exploitation), with stark emotions expressed by actors in situations similar to those of their characters. Their nihilism is explicit, as one boy searches for the perfect location for suicide, and another inflicts wounds on himself in an attempt to expunge the pain and frustration he has already seen in his short life.

Cal (Billy Crudup), is a man in his mid thirties, living in New York City, with a loving wife and a baby. But when he becomes frustrated with his family life, he follows his most immediate instincts--he gets in the car, and simply drives away. This straightforward yet shocking decision is the event that begins WORLD TRAVELER, in which Cal comes under the microscope of psychological observation. He embarks on a road trip that leads him down strange paths and introduces him to an eclectic cast of world-weary characters. Dulcie (Julianne Moore) is one of these people, an emotionally wounded woman who is desperately searching for her lost son. As Cal scans through memories of his family life, patched into the film through vivid flashbacks, he also absorbs his new, wholly unsettled, lost, listing life. Through his encounters on the road, and his conversations with the strange but fascinating Dulcie, he eventually finds a new perspective on his family life.Directed by Bart Freundlich, whose THE MYTH OF THE FINGERPRINTS carried a similar theme of looking at life with introspection through outsider's eyes, WORLD TRAVELER deftly uses the talents of both Crudup and Moore and allows them to propel the film into its nearly dreamlike crossroads between living life and just thinking about it.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers Audio Commentary - 1.
