Epsilon (film)

Epsilon is a 1995 Australian science fiction romance film directed by Rolf de Heer. It is also known as Alien Love. The film stars Sonia Smits and Frank Gallacher.

The story revolves around a telepathic couple from different planets. He, Calliope, is a worker from an overpopulated planet, sent to Earth to assess its suitability for colonization. She, Inari, is a solitary woman living in the Australian outback. They communicate telepathically and eventually meet, forming a deep and unconventional relationship.

Epsilon explores themes of isolation, communication, environmentalism, and the potential for connection across vast distances. The film is notable for its minimalist style, striking visuals of the Australian landscape, and reliance on visual storytelling rather than extensive dialogue. It was filmed on location in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
