    History of Australian Film by a Great Director...

    ...but maybe my expectations were too high.

    It begins wonderfully with a great sense of visual style and the promise of an interesting structure but the problem is that Director/Host George Miller (Mad Max, Babe: Pig in the City) just isn't a great on-camera presence and his overview begins to d..r..a..g...

    I saw this on a tape paired with a Sam Neill-directed doc about New Zealand film and to my great surprise I thought Neill's film was better, so maybe this suffers in comparison.

    Still, this is a good film on the subject, just not the great one I was hoping for.
