I am fortunate enough to live in Australia where, as one of the more successful western multicultural societies we have SBS: A Special Broadcasting Service whoe remit is to use taxpayer funds to licence and broadcast foreign language content for our multilingual community.

SBS is is probably the greatest cultural program in Australia otherwise I would probably never have seen this movie.

I don't want to blow smoke, but was expecting some sort of filler movie that would be mildly engaging but due to the quality of the direction, photography, subject matter and story; even as an average bloke I was quickly drawn into the movie which is about a subject about as far removed from my life as one can get, and as everybody knows: this is the mark of quality story telling: to transport you into a story that is totally unrelated to ones own life.

Many movies that are big buget rarely achieve this so commendations to all involved in this, thoroughly engaging.
