A classic of Australian cinema, 1980’s “Breaker Morant” is the best Australian war film that isn’t “Gallipoli” ever. Part biograph, part history, part courtroom drama, pitch black in its view of humanity and some of the greatest film performances ever. Edward Woodward, (the original “Equalizer,”) Brian Brown, (who may be contractually obligated to be in any film shot in Australia,) and the legendary Jack Thompson star, and we’ll be talking about it.
