And as long as we're all in a reference mode, please recall that Peter Weir
(spelling) and Fred Schepisi(spelling) are both Australians, though
Schepisi's first non-Australian film, _Plenty-, was made in Britain (but
starred Meryl Streep doing a British accent!) The point is not to be too
didactic, or worse, but certainly in this day and age, to question the
notion of "national" cinema on a very practical level.
