| Abstract
|
:
|
A long overdue assessment of our film production which explores low-budget Australian classics and examines the roots of now internationally acclaimed Australian actors - Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, etc. Australia has led the way in artistry, location films, documentaries, nakedness, coarse language, crime, anti-establishment, sexuality and realism.
