They may speak the same language as us, but Australian films have a look and style that makes them very distinctive and sometimes startlingly unique, even if the majority of them are about dysfunctional families, World War 2 or sheep. Sitting at the arse end of the planet, it’s no surprise the world didn’t really take much notice of the cinematic efforts of our antipodean friends until the 1970s, something not helped by its production of cheap but cheer-free snorefests that were about as enticing as a date with Morag off Home And Away.

Films are all about trying to have cool soundtracks nowadays. But filmmakers are so busy trying to find the hippest choones from the most up-to-date bands that they overlook the only ingredient they ever needed.
