Righto cunts. our Australian brethren are either in bed or nearly there so lets shit talk aussie cinema behind their backs ay.

Now I reckon that even with their clear intellectual shortcomings, Aussie cinema really holds its own and cranks out 24 karat kino on the regular. Its like they succeed despite themselves.
Why is this?

I just watched pic related and was stoked at how good it was! My only gripe is I don’t get why they had actors with Southern U.S. accents. Was it 'cause Patterson couldn’t nail a believable Aussie one? he's a weak cunt if that's true. I give it 8/10 instead of 9/10 because of this

Chopper—one of the best examples of character acting in 21st-century Anglophone cinema. It’s hilarious as hell but also pretty tragic at the same time. The movie launched Bana from being just a comedian to being seen as a serious actor. easy 9/10.
Director made shit all of any worth since this. shame really.

Agreed. The tryhard straya shit is pathetic.

Australian cinema is mostly shit. You get a couple of gems a decade, if that. Why is this the case? Because to get funding for your Australian film, you have go through the various state government industry funding hoops and checklists. This kills creativity and ensures diversity.

In the 70s and 80s, Australian film was privately funded but the investment was essentially a tax write off.

Don't even mention the subsidies given to multinational corporations to film in Australia. That should just be outright illegal.

>snowtown

If you were ever in any doubt that aussies were a bunch of sick fucks watch Snowtown. Pedos, troons man-on-man rape, incest,serial killers, torture and extortion. But what do you expect from a nation of imported crims?
Like Chopper, it features an awesome performance of a psychopath by a comedian. Genuinely chilling. 9/10

classic. Ya get to see Jenny Agutter's muff. 9/10

I sometimes think of the outback as a representation of the Australian colonizers subconscious. Desolate, barren, amoral, windswept, empty. Abbos who can lead you to salvation hang around on the edges of your awareness, reminding you that you’re a genocider, but you can’t really face that. Even at the level of instinct you can't acknowledge your nation's depravity

Most of it is garbage but when it is good, it is really good. That's the tradeoff. You have to wait some time for something good to be made.

Riot of a movie. Loved every moment. This is what movies ought to be.

they have a higher hit rate than america, canada, new zealnd or the UK per capita. They are the best anglophone movie producers. They've got a third of the population of the UK for fucks sake.

They start them young and nurture talent

The best western in cinema history isn't even American.
