Dumb question from a yank.


What sport was that? Sorry, I've never seen anything like it here in the states. By the way, I am loving Australian cinema. I've seen a bunch of movies from Australia and I have to say, you guys do it right. Thank you!

AFL.

That answer tells me absolutely nothing. But thanks for the effort. Just an aside: here in the states, AFL stands for American Federation of Labor.

I live a half hour from Google. Still, a simple answer would have helped.

Hi dunbar7, Australian Rules Football is a huge sport in Victoria (the state of Australia that this film was set in) but it doesn't have the same following in the remainder of the country, though other states also have teams.
I just watched this film for the first time last night and i absolutely loved it. If you enjoyed it then i'd also suggest another underrated Australian film called Look Both Ways.
I'd love to hear what Australian films you've been enjoying. :)
