I would like to reinforce the previous reviewer's comments.
This is a significant piece of film-making and deserves greater recognition.
The cast represents a large proportion of Australia's best talent of the period, many of whom have moved on to more widely known roles. Barry Otto was never better. Nicholas Eadie, John Polson and Mark Lee defined the youth of 1960s Australia. Jim Holt (I think) was a superb psychopathic special ops spook.
If Nicole Kidman wasn't a star after BMX Bandits, she was following the release of George Miller's Vietnam.
Bring the DVD RIGHT NOW!

Gattaca is not for hard-core sci-fi fans. There are no alien monsters, no Darth Vaders. Instead it is a movie about us. The plot is set in the future to provide an extrapolation of the perceived present. The world of Gattaca is more soulless, more class polarised, less humane than our own. It casts a harsh light on today's social mores.
Ethan Hawke and Jude Law are both superb in their roles. Their characters reflect the flaws in Gattaca's (and our) society - Jude, the gilded but gelded; and Ethan, the flawed but unflinching.
The direction, musical score and cinematography all work to provide the brutal truth behind the polished surfaces of Gattaca.
If you see Gattaca looking for Han Solo or Lt. Ripley you will be disappointed. See it instead for a new perspective on how to live your own life.
Now read the tag line for this movie again.
