Cloudstreet

Never thought 'Lonesome Dove' (directed by an Aussie, btw) would ever be knocked from its top-spot on my list of favorite TV miniseries, but the transcendent and potentially life-changing Cloudstreet, I guess, has done it. Having now read (via audio-book) the novel two times, I think the Tim Winton co-written teleplay to be a superb rendition of the source material -- considered by some, I understand, to be the modern 'great Australian Novel.' Topnotch Australian acting all around. Especially appreciative of Geoff Morrell's intelligent and exquisite portrayal of Lester Lamb -- who, for me, at least, is the heart and soul of the story.
