Product Overview

Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wake in Fright and Romper Stomper are hallmark contributions to our national cinema, each tapping into anxieties – colonialism, toxic masculinity, migration, isolating landscapes – that, to this day, pervade the Australian psyche. Stephen A Russell explores the long shadows cast by these cinematic classics over their televisual reincarnations.
