I think it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival this year, but I didn't watch it because I thought it might get a wider release. Seems like this is happening.
What caught my attention were some interesting screenshots of the scenery, and the supposedly bleak view the film is taking. Would be interesting to see another australian historical film, so maybe I'll watch this in the future. So far I have only seen one comparable australian film to wpqx's description. Mad Dog Morgan (197 with Dennis Hopper in the lead role. A great film.
