It's certainly heart wrenching, and even more so when you realise that there simply isn't any hope for their situation to improve. Several years after the "event" (whatever it was) there's nothing left but ashes and despair.

I just don't know how they can translate that effectively to the screen without inducing mass depression in the audience.

I recently visited a major book store to buy a copy of The Road and they had run out of stock. I intend to see the film when it is released in Australia but I'd like to read the book first.

Your local library is a good place to start.

"The Road" was in the last "Festival de Cinema FantÃ*stic de Catalunya, Sitges 2009" http://sitgesfilmfestival.com/cas/film/?id=10001247.

My friends, great lovers of the sci-fi and the fantastic genre, always save ten days of their holidays to go to the Festival. They use to rent an apartment for its entire duration on the Festival. One of them owns a web site about movie reviews and has earned the precious "Press Pass"! I always pay them a visit with my wife, watching some movie in the process. I will ask them about the film.

BTW, I take the opportunity to recommend yout the Sitges Festival. Zombie-fans in the streets and all the stuff. Very informal. Those of you who likes the terror, sci-fi, fantastic or anime genre will enjoy the event, for sure.
