I just watched it again a while back and was enchanted -- more by the visual aspect of France in the 60s than by anything else, I think.Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063662548053579178.post-18390313029246077962008-05-31T02:56:00.000+01:002008-05-31T02:56:00.000+01:00Oh, what about Les Parapluies de Cherbourg?

I did see Moulin Rouge at the cinema and liked it quite a bit -- although there is something that doesn't work about on-screen musicals, although I'll make an exception for Sweeney Todd!

Going back even further, Peter Weir's "Gallipoli" is another favourite though I haven't seen that since we were last going to school together.<BR/><BR/>"The Proposition" is a slow burning film, but it really captures the isolation and risk involved to the early settlers in the Outback. Great performances from Ray Winstone, Emily Watson, Guy Pearce, and John Hurt.Siouxfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673561146654223129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063662548053579178.post-352991159000732992008-05-26T04:36:00.000+01:002008-05-26T04:36:00.000+01:00Going strictly by the preview, it looks like it co...Going strictly by the preview, it looks like it could go either way. I did enjoy "Moulin Rouge!" (but then again I'm a sucker for musicals). I just gave me pause when I saw NK playing cowgirl in the trailer. Hahaha! On the topic of Australia and Aborigines, did you happen to see "Rabbit-Proof Fence"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
