Né en 1855, Ned Kelly devient l'ennemi public numéro un en Australie après avoir tiré sur un policier qui appréhendait son frère Dan. Avec ce dernier et deux autres complices, il fonde un gang qui sème le trouble de 1878 à 1880. Ned Kelly se distingue des autres bandits par son accoutrement quelque peu original : il porte une armure "faite maison", qui lui sert de gilet pare-balles, ainsi qu'un heaume de chevalier fabriqué par ses soins. Par ailleurs, comme Robin des Bois, il vole uniquement les riches pour donner aux pauvres.

Ballroom Dancing

1992 94 min 345 vues

L'histoire de Scott Hastings, jeune champion de danse qui se rebelle contre la toute-puissante Fédération en introduisant ses propres figures contre celles imposées par les concours. Pour ce premier long-métrage de sa trilogie du « Rideau Rouge », qui va durer près de 10 ans avec plus tard Romeo + Juliette et Moulin Rouge!, le réalisateur Baz Luhrmann a su insuffler ce grain de folie qui fait sa particularité dans ses autres films. Très coloré, déjanté et musical, ce film qui parle essentiellement de danse, (Luhrmann a beaucoup pratiqué la danse dans son jeune âge), se montre critique envers les conventions imposées même dans les concours de danse, qu'il a probablement dû lui-même affronter. L'histoire n'est pas originale (la fin en particulier rappelle Dirty Dancing), mais les acteurs, les personnages, les costumes, cette façon de filmer typique de Luhrmann en fait un film délicieux à voir si l'on est amateur du genre.

In this moody black and white drama, very much in the mode of the American "western," but with its own film noir characteristics, a whole town is heaved out of its doldrums when a pair of mysterious strangers come visiting. In the beginning of the film, Angel is traveling with his friend Max on a ship to Honeyfield, a town on the coast of Australia. He is coming home to die. Instead, he dies on board the ship, willing his boots to Angel, and an unopened package to someone called "The Dead Man," in Honeyfield. Also on the ship is a man named Tatts, a far less pleasant personality. When Angel gets off to head into Honeyfield, Tatts decides to follow along unseen. The package, Angel was told, contains something its intended recipient has been looking for without knowing it. On finding the recipient, a mean-spirited old man who is more or less the boss and owner of the town, he learns that the package contains opium.

Punishment

1981 min 1 vues

Punishment is an Australian television soap opera made by the Reg Grundy Organisation for the Ten Network in 1981. Set in a fictional men's prison, the series attempted to present a male version of the successful soap Prisoner. Attempts by the show's makers to differentiate the series from Prisoner saw Punishment imbued with greater realism; however, the formula did not attract high viewing figures. Network Ten deemed the new series a failure after only three episodes had gone to air, and it was quickly removed from the schedules. The remainder of the 26 episodes produced were shown out-of-ratings later that year. Unusually for a soap opera, the series was taped using the single camera technique. The regular cast featured many notable Australian actors including Brian Wenzel, Barry Crocker, Michael Preston, Ross Thompson, Anne Haddy, George Spartels, Cornelia Frances, Lisa Peers and Julie McGregor. Mel Gibson played a prisoner in the first episode. Kris McQuade played the girlfriend of Gibson's character and was phased out of the series after the first few episodes due to Gibson's departure. The programme was produced and directed by Alan Coleman.

The Flying Doctors is an Australian drama series produced by Crawford Productions that revolved around the everyday lifesaving efforts of the real Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. It was initially a 1985 mini-series based in the fictional outback town of Cooper's Crossing starring Andrew McFarlane as the newly arrived Dr. Tom Callaghan. The success of the mini series led to its return the following year as an on-going series with McFarlane being joined by a new doctor, Chris Randall, played by Liz Burch. McFarlane left during the first season and actor Robert Grubb came in as new doctor Geoff Standish. The series' episodes were mostly self-contained but also featured ongoing storylines, such as Dr. Standish's romance with Sister Kate Wellings. Other major characters included pilot Sam Patterson, mechanic Emma Plimpton, local policeman Sgt. Jack Carruthers and Vic and Nancy Buckley, who ran the local pub/hotel, The Majestic. Andrew McFarlane also later returned to the series, resuming his role as Dr. Callaghan. The popular series ran for nine seasons and was successfully screened internationally.
