Last night I saw "Australia", the latest film directed by Baz Luhrmann, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, which was told to be the new "Gone with the wind", but personally I found them very different. In the beginning I didn't understand anything about the properties and the plots, but then, in the course of the events, I fell in love with the story of the characters, especially with Nahlla, the native Australian, a little boy with sparkling eyes and a sweet, sweet tenderness.
Nicole Kidman , who played the role of Lady Sarah Ashley, was -as ever- perfect, though sometimes she doesn't act very well; Hugh Jackman was really handsome in this film! As soon as I saw him in one of the first scenes I figured out he was a strong character (he played as the Drover), and also an ironic one. He acted very well, he smiled and cried in a way which seemed real.
I missed so much Baz Luhrmann' style... I don't know, I thought it would be a little like Moulin Rouge! or Romeo+Juliet, with all that fantastic details, the colours and the camera-movements (certainly this expression is more an Italian on than an English one!), little treasures... Maybe this film was more epic, more prodigious, a real kolossal, it seemed quite bare to me. But this is only an impression! Have you ever seen it?
