"Rabbit Proof Fence" just came out here (N.E. USA) this past week to rave
reviews. I'm going to see it on Sunday. Forgive us for not being completely
up to date on Aussie cinema as it would require buying illegal bootleg dvd's
or scamming it off of the internet to see Australian films contemporaneously
with Australians. BTW "Once Were Warriors" is now the third best Kiwi film
I've ever seen.
