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.
