Oscar and Lucinda (1997)
Besides music and depiction of settlers-natives relationship, the rest is really well done.
This film has shown that Australian filming industry has something to say. Almost everything is done with a lot of attention to detail. For instance, the plot is coherent and includes a great deal of figurative, meaningful scenes, for example water plays an important role as a symbol of life and cleansing all sins. As far as acting is concerned, I would give the highest note for that without a moment of hesitation. R. Fienes and company have done a lot of good work to show convincingly the hectic, unusual protagonists. If it comes to music, it enhances the power of the film, however it passes rather unnoticed. One thing I did not like is that this film depicts relations between white settlers and the natives in politically correct approach; namely the whites shoot indigenous people, rape them, do not respect their rituals, etc. I feel that this great theme of Australian cinema needs a bit of differentiation, things not always looked like that. Besides that little thing seeing, I consider this work as a masterpiece.
