Strange Planet is a 1999 Australian comedy starring Claudia Karvan. It was Emma-Kate Croghan's follow up to Love and Other Catastrophes and used many of the same cast and crew.
The film explores the lives of three male friends and three female friends over the course of one year. Judy has an affair with her married boss. Sally is a party girl open to all experiences. Alice is morally strict but feels stuck.
Ewan is a lawyer who hates the law. Joel is left by his wife. Neil is desperate for love.
At one stage it was planned that the film would be shot at the same time as another movie, Revolver which would be directed by Emma Kate Crogan while Stavros Kazantzidis would make Strange Planet. However, in the end Crogan directed Planet and Revolver was never made.
The film was a commercial disappointment and as of 2015 Croghan has not directed another feature film.
