SKU: 03387-M193

Australia has long lionised the figure of the bushranger – and, expectedly, so has its film industry, with the subgenre dating as far back as the early 1900s. Unlike its predecessors, however, Matthew Holmes' The Legend of Ben Hall focuses attention not just on the antihero's seditious exploits, but also the personal hardships that perhaps led the titular outlaw to the law-breaking life, writes Brian McFarlane.
