Collected together for the first time are the selected seminal short films of internationally acclaimed director Peter Weir ("Picnic at Hanging Rock", "Gallipoli", "Master and Commander").
This DVD provides a rare opportunity to witness Weir's formative work, displaying the themes and style that would ultimately propel him into the international spotlight and establish his reputation as one of the most thoughtful and talented directors currently working in Hollywood.
Personally selected by Weir, this compilation includes:
Three To Go: Michael Weir's astonishingly stylish debut opens with Sydney under seige from young revolutionaries. Can "Youth Quake", an uptight TV panel discussion, end this violent street battle by tackling some very perplexing problems concerning the youth of today? Resist-Revolt-Reform!
Homesdale Welcome to Homesdale Hunting Lodge - "A New Experiment in Togetherness". The retreat is home to a mixed party of eccentric guests (including Kate Fitzpatrick and Grahame Bond) who are encouraged to act out their fantasies - watched on by men in white coats. Is Homesdale a guest house, a mental institution or a prison?
Three Directions In Pop Music In this time capsule of the early 70s live music scene, Weir documents performances by legendary Aussie jug-band THE CAPTAIN MATCHBOX WHOOPEE BAND along with WENDY SADDINGTON & TEARDROP and Spectrum's alter ego, INDELIBLE MURTCEPS.
Incredible Floridas Packed with stylish and atmospheric re-enactments, this short documentary chronicles Richard Meale's homage to acclaimed French poet, Arthur Rimbaud.

Well this was a bit of an interesting movie, wasn’t really one of my favourites but it was not exactly one of my least favourites. Out of a ten I would probably give this one like a 3 and a half maybe, well I do not really think it is worth that even. I would not watch it again though, I think once was enough for me but I think that if you enjoy this kind of stuff you should watch, just do it! Great price again Fishpond
