Not everything we watch is American. Just most of it…
The Great Gatsby
Directed by: Baz Luhrmann
Written by: Baz Luhrmann (screenplay), Craig Pearce (screenplay), F. Scott Fitzgerald (based on the novel by)
You knew it would be here. Whilst the film itself divided opinion on both over-zealous production and truthfulness to the book (which, let's face it, is always an issue with movie/books) it was still Australia's most successful film of the year. If the purpose of film as a medium is to influence and effect the masses, then Gatsby delivers - the myriad of fashion blogs and party themes associated with it a testament.
With a blockbuster cast many would hesitate to associate with Australian Film, Gatsby conquered. Whether we want to admit it or not.

The Rocket
Directed by: Kim Mordaunt
Written by: Kim Mordaunt
A fantastically interesting Australian film which recently took out the "Best Debut Feature" at the Berlin Film Festival, The Rocket is unique in that it does not have many of the stereotypical tropes associated with Australian film. Gone are the red deserts and Akubra hats, instead replaced with the vegetation dense landscape of Cambodia. The Rocket is the most unique Australian film of both 2013 and the past couple years.
