The NFSA's Kodak/Atlab Cinema Collection: Petersen

NFSA Kodak/Atlab Cinema Collection essay. Petersen (Tim Burstall, 1974) offers a critique of Australian sexual mores and class issues of the period. Brian McFarlane argues that the film now looks like an archetypal film of the decade – not just in themes, but in style, in personnel, and in how it deals with the relaxed censorship of the 1970s.
