Ahh Australian cinema. We're a unique breed down these parts, with a unique culture and sense of humour. Hardly understood by the rest of the world I think it shocks us more than it shocks them when an Aussie movie is a world wide hit (Priscilla perhaps?). As it's such a rare occurrence, Australian cinema has many little known classics that mean a lot to us but would leave pretty much everybody else scratching their heads. I think this is most likely one of those movies.
That's not to say that Coolangatta Gold isn't a good movie in it's own right. The engaging story, the themes of family and maturity, a journey into adulthood. Coolangatta Gold is an inspirational film and covers a lifestyle that will always be a large part of Australia's identity.
