About this listen

 EPISODE 053: LESSONS IN FILM MOVEMENTS Featuring: Mad Max (1979); Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975); Dead Calm (1989); Walkabout (1971) From the outback gothic Ozploitation of “Mad Max” to the proto-Lynchian affect of “Picnic at Hanging Rock”, the impact of Australian New Wave remains resoundingly influential albeit relatively unheard of. Boasting contemporary Hollywood headliners such as Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson, George Miller, Peter Weir, and Sam Neill, this film movement from Down Under dominated indie circuits in the 1970s and 80s with daring adventure tales displaying a determined national identity alongside unique cinematic aesthetics. WR&P cohosts Ryan and Kevin give respect to Aussie cinema.
