History of New Zealand Film

» Hedwig - Article: History of New Zealand Film

What about "Once Were Warriors" and its sequel "Only the Broken-Hearted"? Did I get those titles right? I haven't seen them myself but I have read lots about them. I don't get to the movies as much as I would like, I am more a book person.

We get lots of NZ tv shows like "Ocean Girl" here too.

I am looking forward to some articles on NZ literature.

Quite right too and I should have mentioned them as they are some of the better known movies. New Zealand film has a bit of a reputation as being a bit grim, and these movies certainly are. If you can get through that, rest assured there is redemption at the end.
Just bear in mind New Zealand society is certainly not *all* like this, but its still worth seeing.
