one of the most inventive docu-dramas I have seen, 29 August 2006
10/10
Author: benulm62 from Australia

For anyone who's passionate about films and film making. This is creative storytelling at its best. The compositing of dramatic actors with archive, blended with the memorable film epics of Rupe, takes this into new realm. It's a difficult line to tread, between authentic history and creative licence. Director/writer Alec Morgan tiptoes along that line without a net, and he does it fearlessly. Ben Mendelsohn is great in the lead. No surprises there. This is a fitting tribute to one of film history's unsung heroes. There's a street named after Rupe Kathner in Canberra. He was a footnote, not elevated to the status of legends by Morgan and co. In fact,,this is a better story and film than that other celebrated legend Ed Wood. By the closing credits I just wanted to get out and get involved. Let's make a movie!
