Great story, great actors. If you like Two Hands or Dirty Deeds, then you will enjoy The Hard Word. |

Michael Pattinson |
Because it stays in my memory. It is the conflict between 2 nations and 2 men and how after it's all over they becomes friends.
And when at an international reunion many years later the Japanese granddaughter/interpreter asks how they new each other the answer is "we fought together in the war". |

An important historical work. Like Gallipoli, highlights contradictions of war. Great cinematography, especially the charge sequence. A good Aussie caste. Jon Blake's first major film before a car accident wrecked what was a promising career. |

The Proposition |
2005 |
John Hillcoat |
The first Australian Western: the first Australian film to take seriously the notion that a frontier existed in colonial Australia and to depict this frontier as a war zone between white colonists and indigenous Australians. And Nick Cave wrote the script: that great, postmodern poet of the Australian soul. |

Tony McNamara |
Good use of wit and humour to create a nice social commentary that asks why we don't question what we see. |
