Wally, I�m really pleased to hear that you share my enjoyment and appreciation of Jacques Tati. His is a gentle, magical and timeless comedy. Watching Monsieur Hulot, you can see clearly where Mr Bean has come from! You mentioned not seeing much Australian cinema. That's unfortunate because we actually have a pretty rich cinematic history going right back to the early days. A couple of Australian films I would strongly recommend are �Picnic at Hanging Rock� (I think I remember Steve Dulson praising this one on the jmdl about a year ago), �The Year My Voice Broke� and �Cosi�. The last of these concerns the (not altogether successful) attempt by inmates of an asylum to mount a production of Mozart�s opera �Cosi fan tutte�. It�s a real �out of left field� film so I hope it won�t put you off your love of opera, Wally. Cheers, John. __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au
