  Til Human Voices Wake Us is a ghostly romance from Australia. Guy Pearce plays a brooding psychiatrist who must go back to his family's summer home to bury his father and settle some lingering childhood traumas. Helena Bonham Carter is the mysterious woman he meets on his journey, twice: once in a fleeting encounter on a train, again as she takes a dive off a trestle into a river. By the way, she's amnesiac--Guy Pearce just can't shake that Memento feel. For viewers susceptible to this kind of thing, director Michael Petroni's lofty literary tone might just work (the breathless pauses are broken by quotations from TS Eliot); otherwise, it will look like a skeletal take on a potentially interesting subject. The two fine actors give it a go and they're always good to look at, but finally one wonders what they saw in this very slim proposition. --Robert Horton
