I don't know what it is but I find Australian cinema compelling, and if a film is Australian, I will watch it. Just because they're not necessarily reaching the mainstream, doesn't mean they're not good quality films. I only wish Australian films got a wider release!Gilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-2039933866952393252011-02-09T19:12:27.274-05:002011-02-09T19:12:27.274-05:00Hear Hear, Glenn!

People seem to pride themselves on how much they can criticise Australian films (without having even seen them) and then they'll turn around and say "I'm so Aussie" or something.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-59041725108807264802011-02-06T23:45:30.873-05:002011-02-06T23:45:30.873-05:00Thanks for these comments Glenn.

No films , no books, no art etc. etc. For some reason the negative comments come from people who THINK that they are very Australian. I dont want more cinema from America. I can tolerate few Amercian films, especailly the socalled comedies! What is there to laugh about? I love Australian films, especially art house and my partner and I go on a regular basis to view them. Looking forward to 'Eye of the Storm' and 'Snowtown'. Outside of Aussie films, I love Danish and Spanish cinema and TV.BRENTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209051549953833708noreply@blogger.com
