Good old time in Australia, 8 December 2006
6/10
Author: Michael Kerjman

Once upon a time, there was Australia, where prostitution and gambling were not officially legalized major industries in Melbourne, there were enough jobs outside these industries in other fields of activities for Anglo-Saxons at least, and there were enough newcomers from other places than England for a dirty low paid existence.

This good old time between WWI and WWII has been depicted with a DVD extract of TV show "My brother Jack", at the time a revolutionary tale of ordinary people's family, not a usual Australian story of British adventurers, pirates or simply bandits - Kelly or no-ideology-attached other criminals.

And it very much differs from usual Australian top-movies among which recent "Ten Canoes" is a welcome sound exemption, where stupidity and sexuality rule (Jakass, Bad Boy Buddy for instance).

I will not place this DVD on my shelf, but it is definitely of some interest for trying understand roots of contemporary Australia.
