Excellent and beautiful

"One Night the Moon" is quite possibly the best Australian movie I've seen since "Picnic at Hanging Rock".

It's a very short movie, exquisitely filmed to take advantage of the grandeur of Australian countryside (filmed in South Australia). The story is driven by music, rather than dialogue, but is more of an operatic movie than a musical (both in the emotional intensity of music as well as the theme of the story). I was very impressed with the music and acting (and they get good acting from Paul Kelly by making him sing as he is a musician rather than an actor).

Highly recommended.
