Movie Commentary 6 - Looking for Alibrandi (2000)

What happens when you take one of Australia's most beloved coming-of-age stories and put Holly & Matthew in a room with it?You're about to find out. Join us as we watch Looking for Alibrandi (2000), the Australian film adaptation of Melina Marchetta's much-loved novel. Along the way, we talk about family, identity, growing up, Italian-Australian culture, class, religion, and all the other things this film manages to cram into the life of one teenager. We'll also be doing what we always do with these commentary tracks: stopping to talk about the history, the cultural references, the filmmaking, the things that have aged beautifully, the things that haven't, and probably several things that have absolutely nothing to do with the film. Grab a copy of the movie, press play, and watch along with us. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.
