An adventure as epic as the land arrives on DVD when Baz Luhrmann’s Australia hits store shelves March 3rd from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and M&C is giving away four copies of the DVD!
Venture down under into an epic and romantic action-adventure set in a country on the brink of war with Australia starring Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge!, The Hours) and Golden Globe-nominee Hugh Jackman (X-Men trilogy, The Prestige).
This grand-scale journey, set against the Australian outback, follows an English aristocrat who travels to the faraway continent where she meets a rough-hewn local and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save a sprawling cattle ranch she inherited from her late husband.
Together, they embark upon a journey across hundreds of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to face the enemy Japanese forces. A spectacular saga with romance, drama, beauty, prejudice and danger set against historical fiction, Australia “is the rare film that in visual and emotional scope lives up to the word epic.” (Richard Corliss, Time).
Filmed on-location in the vast outback, Australia marks Luhrmann’s third collaboration with Kidman and is the first feature film produced as part of a planned trilogy of epic works.
The film also represents the work of his wife and creative partner, double Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet). Featuring performances from many Aussie natives, the film also stars David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Jack Thompson (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), Bryan Brown (Along Came Polly) and young Aboriginal Brandon Walters in his feature film debut.
The Australia single-disc DVD is presented in widescreen format (2.35:1 aspect ratio) with English, Spanish and French 5.1 Dolby Surround plus English, Spanish and French subtitles. Bonus features include deleted scenes from the film.
