AUSTRALIA (2008)
SYNOPSIS
AUSTRALIA is an epic and romantic action adventure,
set in that country on the explosive brink of World War
II. In it, an English aristocrat (Kidman) travels to the
faraway continent, where she meets a rough-hewn
local (Jackman) and reluctantly agrees to join forces
with him to save the land she inherited. Together, they
embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds
of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving
terrain, only to still face the bombing of the city of
Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl
Harbor. With his new film, Luhrmann is painting on a
vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that
brings together romance, drama, adventure and
spectacle.
