In retrospect, watching the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s latest eye-popping opus on YouTube probably wasn’t the ideal way to experience it for the first time. Which would probably explain why I wasn’t as bowled over by this trailer as I probably should have been. But them’s the breaks, as they say. Still, there’s enough here to get excited about, even on the small screen. Since the rise to prominence of Australian cinema back in the 1970s, Aussie actors and filmmakers have made their mark on Hollywood, and if nothing else Australia is notable as that nation’s grandest, most ambitious cinematic vision to date. To say nothing of the cavalcade of homegrown stars on display, beginning with Hugh Jackman and naturalized Oz resident Nicole Kidman, who’s rarely better than when she’s working with Luhrmann. The only thing I’m worried about is that Luhrmann’s images will be swallowed up in his hyperkinetic editing like they were in Moulin Rouge! But even if the trailer refuses to let our eyes drink in the gorgeousness for as long as they’d like to, this still looks like a must-see.
