I have never met one of those mythical outback Australian men in my life, but people here and abroad responded instantly to his laid-back behaviour and values. And the photography was brilliant.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-8128231398677427842014-07-01T02:49:29.500+10:002014-07-01T02:49:29.500+10:00I agree about PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, though I nev...I agree about PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, though I never did 'get' what was actually happening. Still, a beauty of a film.<br /><br />I also loved - can't help it - CROCODILE DUNDEE. Even if part of it took place in Manhattan. I loved the Australian part best.

I adore British, German, French, Italian and Swedish films, but they do not reflect our lives.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-7956928567998869742014-06-30T09:44:18.007+10:002014-06-30T09:44:18.007+10:00The newwer film Burning Man was good, also Dogs in...The newwer film Burning Man was good, also Dogs in Space.

And Peter Weir was the very cool director.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-37848746246404514102014-06-29T00:00:41.618+10:002014-06-29T00:00:41.618+10:00I think Picnic at Hanging Rock was the landmark fi...I think Picnic at Hanging Rock was the landmark film, way back in 1975.
