Here's some Australian Christmas movies. Some you may know, others not. One even stars a very young Nicole Kidman. Christmas hits differently here. It's all about summer holidays. ozflicks.wordpress.com/2023/12/20/t...

I need to see it again to further unravel its complexities. Probably the most interesting, and thought provoking, film I've seen this year.
