A bleak portrayal of a damaged marriage. Brilliantly acted and shocking. |

I actually enjoyed this movie more than Alvin Purple. I would have love to drop into that Road House Abigail was serving in. Well she was married to Mauri Fields who can blame her. |

It touches my heart and history; it connects the past with the present and allows us, as a nation, to move forward - if the critics will cease their chatter and let it heal us. This is the story I have been waiting to be told since I was a small child and experienced the divide between town and country, between one skin colour and another. |

Rolf de Heer |
A daring, black comedy. Even if the plot is a little repetitive, the basic "Kaspar Hauser"-type premise was implemented with great humour and even sensitivity, showing de Heer's (then) future potential. Also a fabulous performance by Nicholas Hope. |

Tracey Moffatt |
Anglo-Aboriginal Australian magical realism "These stories are told via a playful bending and blending of generic conventions which provides a meta-narrative of how indigenous and non-indigenous Australians understand and live with each other." |

Beneath Clouds |
2002 |
Ivan Sen |
A simple, understated drama with towering performances from the two young leads - coupled with cinematography which can only be described as breathtaking. A superb Aussie road-movie. Who said the Australian film industry sucks ? |

Not only historically fascinating but more relevant now than when it was made. |

Breaker Morant |
1980 |
Bruce Beresford |
The South Australian Film Commission led the way on the revival of Aus films in the 1970s (Picnic included). Morant's story was an unusual choice for a film but a good one and a film that has stood the test of time - young Bryan Brown, Lewis Fitzgerald and Jack Thompson of course, all put in great performances. Well directed, well shot and writen. Perhaps not the most blockbusterish on the list, but worth including. |
