and Peter Weir's style in general, then check out his much earlier war movie "Gallipoli". I use the term "war" loosely because it's not like most war movies (no blood and guts). Here in Oz it is a classic for reasons that non-Australians won't fully grasp (however, that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it). I love its style - if you love texture, colour, absence of artifice, and "honesty" in film-making, I guarantee you'll like this movie.Doug (big Peter Weir fan)
PS. It's funny you should mention Master and Commander. I just got back from the video store a couple of hours ago with a copy!
