Synopsis This article comments on and compares Rob Sitch's 'The Dish' with the films of controversial Chinese film-maker Zhang Yimou, whose films seek to "exoticise feudal China" in order to attract the tourist dollar. Freeman questions whether Sitch has done the same by packaging and promoting a contrived kind of "Australian-ness" that will appeal to American audiences.
