A wonderful film, 13 July 2001
8/10
Author: rps-2 from Bracebridge Ont

This is a very different but very appealing film. It's a meaningful story with any number of points to make and questions to ask, based on two Italian POW's and two Jewish-German refugees living on an Australian farm with a woman whose husband is off fighting the Japanese. That sounds horrible, I know. But it works. It's gripping, dramatic and visually compelling. However all through this impressive film one painful, embarrassing question nagged at me. Australia and Canada have much in common. We're about the same size with similar populations.Why is it then that the Aussies can produce brilliant films such as this while we crank out the most dreadful stuff.
