Went to see Lantana last night, which was excellent. I can't post links to an official site as all the ones I visited were broken, but here's part of a reviewI found on imdb:

In Hollywood the man is a limited creature, and this tendency limits the potential for the movies of America. Let us give thanks that producers in other countries may still find funding for movies not crafted shallowly for the American main-stream!

Lantana is a brilliant movie. Lantana is not a Hollywood movie, nor an American movie.

I'd agree. My opinion is that it's a French movie (it's literally Australian, of course). It's got real people with real personalities who reveal themselves through a combination of what they say and what they do. It isn't just reality, though (e.g. we find the main characters linked by amazing coincidences) but the departures from reality are part of the game and so they don't ruin things in a 24 kind of way.

The non-broken bit of the Australian site describes it as a 'mystery for grown-ups' so I'm wondering whether it works for younger audiences, given part of the interest is about how marriages work (or don't work). I remember how bemused our 19-year-old au pair was by In The Mood For Love which Ohna and I had raved about. She reminded me of my bemusement when I was 14 and went to see Death In Venice knowing only that it had death in the title and a double A (a now extinct category, for people over 14) certificate (I thought that told me all I needed to know).
