shareThis is another example of Aussie cultural cringe, great Australian movies left on the shelf because there is no-one in this 'arse-end of the world' society prepared to show support for our cultural identity. A total bloody shame!
shareYeah, but I have high hopes... I mean Pacific Banana just came out on DVD! And Alvin Purple is being released later this year back to back with Alvin Rides Again! There's been some pretty good releases of late (and some all but forgotten stuff), but I'd love to see some of our earlier cinematic heritage become more widely available. Screensound are sadly not up to the task, as you only ever find their stuff in museum gift shops (their DVD of The Man From Hong Kong seems to have all but vanished).
Anyway, here's hoping.....
Hah! Maybe the AV Channel were reading this, as Money Movers looks set to hit DVD later this year....Huzzah!
shareGot the Umbrella DVD, and it's a corker - good transfer and a great 35-minute documentary where the cast contradict each other and Beresford admits that he thinks the film is silly and 'entirely justifiably underrated.' Great little movie.
"Gentlemen, is this a great moment or a small one? I'm afraid I don't know."
