Moulin Rouge! was a risky venture for director Baz Luhrmann but is a tour de force of imagination and appropriation.

Evil Angels is a highlight of 80s Australian cinema but did not perform as well locally as it deserved, perhaps because it presents the dark side of the easygoing ‘g’day mate’ nation.

Babe (1995) was a worldwide hit film based on a children’s book about a farm pig who wants to be a sheepdog.

Animal Kingdom is the critically-acclaimed 2010 debut feature from writer/director David Michod.

In Baz Luhrmann's Australia (2008), three outsiders – an aristocrat, a stockman and a vulnerable child – are set against the malevolent forces of greedy neighbours, a world war and assimilationist policy.
