Mad Men, Season 3 Sep 2, 2009
Don may have done a soul-searching walkabout in California, but in the end he went home to domestic conformity & it was Roger who followed through & actually rebelled. Although Joan's "stop talking" zinger was good, the most potent retort came from Roger when he told Don "You know the best thing about these places is you get to come here & be happy - & you get to chose who you invite." The look on Don's face made it clear that Roger had just dumped him. (Slate)

A G'DAY FOR MOVIES Jul 31, 2009
The production explosion that followed included not only Aussie new wave productions familiar to American art-house audiences -- like "Breaker Morant," "Walkabout" and "Picnic at Hanging Rock" -- but dozens of gonzo exploitation movies. While a few -- including "Mad Max" and "Razorback" -- were hits in the United States, most of the movies chronicled in "Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild Untold Story of Ozploitation" never made it farther than US grindhouses and home video, if that far.

But, Hitchcock s missed opportunity was fellow Brit filmmaker Nicolas Roeg s gain; after serving as the great cinematographer on such masterpieces as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Roeg was by 1973 forging a striking and daring reputation as a director determined to challenge the viewer s expectations with such films as his odd treatise on fame and narcissism, Performance (1970); and the breath-taking power of his naturalistic family film, Walkabout (1971). followed by twisting another genre to his...

On the run from sorrow Jul 3, 2009
It's a trial in the desert, that biblical idea that turns up so often in Australian cinema - Wake In Fright, Walkabout, Wolf Creek - although this one has a less alien outlook.

Wake In Fright Jun 29, 2009
The film was hugely influential but mostly with nascent Australian filmmakers, some of whom saw it as a national disgrace that two great films had been made about Australia in one year, neither by an Australian (the other was Walkabout, directed by Nic Roeg).
