DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE AUSTRALIAN FILM?

Yes bluxx, that was a good one, a real sleeper. I think someone mentioned it earlier. There is a Lantana in Florida - before I found out anything about the film I thought maybe it was set there. But couldn't imagine why anyone would do that. I was right.

Impeccable taste! What a terrific film!

Sorry Larry, catching up here ... Just read your question:



Do you mean the political situation in The Year Of Living Dangerously? Yes, it certainly was! Resulted in a purge of Sukarno's supporters - a bloodbath of mammoth proportions. This by the way, was supported by the CIA, who saw Sukarno as dangerous (Communist sympathies).
The film revolved around a group of international journalists, covering the last months & days before the fall of Sukarno. This period became known as "the year of living dangerously" in Indonesea.
Well worth a look, if you get the chance. Rivetting!

Thanks, I'm keeping an eye out for it on tv.

A bit of background from the novel the film was based on, if you're interested:

Has anybody seen the the REAL version of Vanilla Sky? Abre Los ojos?

I haven't but it sounds great. My video stores don't have it of course.
