| Comments |
Highly thorough analysis of the role of narration in the Australian film industry.
'Chapter 3: The Self in Context', provides a useful analysis of films like Walkabout and Sunday Too Far Away in terms of Docker's "gloom-thesis"(75) which sees the myths of Australian literature, exploring pessimistic themes of the individual, translated to screen.
A trusted author: Graeme Turner has written numerous books about Australia's film industry, many of which are used in the university curriculum. |
