I'm watching a documentary on Australian film, and now I REALLY want to see Wake In Fright
I'm also looking forward to seeing Sátántangó whenever I find the patience to sit and watch for 14 hours. And Come and See, which I think is getting a Criterion UK release soonish.
That'll do for now, although there are many many more.
How about you?

This might look like I'm threadcapping but I'm not. The first 2 films have an important place in my childhood so I'm genuinely excited to see this.

Come and See is jaw-droppingly good. However, it is the sort of film that doesn't bear repeated viewings - mostly because of the content, but also because it's so visceral and impactful. You only need to see it once.

I'm waiting on the Sorrow and the Pity - a 4 hour documentary made in 1969 about a French town's reaction to Jewish transportation and collaboration during Vichy. Will wait until my wife is out for the evening to watch that.
I bought a 1960's French film called "The 317th platoon" about soldiers in 50's Vietnam, but sadly although it said english subtitles they didn't work.
My local cinema is showing 1917 next month - I never got round to seeing it on general release. I find Sam Mendes a bit dull, but I'm intrigued to watch this.

Yeah? Did you see it in a cinema?
I'd never even heard of it before seeing this doc. It looks amazing. I should dig a bit deeper with Aussie films, I think.

Wake In Fright is great. I think I watched it on GB's recommendation a while back. Come And See is also insane and intense.
'Tracks' is a decent Aussie film (although recent - 2013). A true story about a woman who walks several thousand miles across the Outback with some camels and her dog. Adam Driver is in it, but Mia Wasikowska (sp?) more than makes up for his presence.

Yesterday we watched another Aussie film "The Last Days of Chez Nous", from 1992. Pretty good, but more in the "relationship drama" genre. A great looking film, though.

I remember this really good season of new (i.e. 70s) Australian films on BBC2 decades ago. 1981-2 in fact, as I just found a heap of old Radio Times on the internet and the full list is here:
