I loved this movie.
Funny thing though, when i first went to see it at a London cinema in 1988, about 75% of the audience left during the film. Weird! My favourite movie ever and everyone was leaving!
The difficulty in finding it on DVD seems to show that it certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea. But really, it's a great adaptation of a great book. In fact it's probably the most true-to-book movie I've ever seen, guess that's largely because Peter Carey is listed as co-scriptwriter.
If you hated it, please tell us why. I just don't get it.
