The Soundtracks Collection - Part Three

 



Dirty Deeds is a 2002 film shot in Australia. It was directed by noted fringe director David Caesar and stars Bryan Brown, Toni Collette, Sam Neill, Sam Worthington, John Goodman and Andrew Sommerich.

Barry Ryan is a late 1960's Australian mobster who controls the Sydney gambling scene and is making huge profits from casino slot machines. His profitable venture attracts the unwanted attention of the American Mafia, who attempt to secure a piece of the action by sending in two of their henchmen: the pensive, world-weary veteran Tony and his violent, not-too-bright sidekick Sal. Ryan soon finds himself fending off the trigger-happy "yanks", outback-style, while also contending with his feisty wife, needy mistress, and a crooked cop.

Travelling Light is a 2003 Australian film directed by Kathryn Millard and starring Pia Miranda, Sacha Horler, and Anna Torv.

Leanne (Pia Miranda) is training to be a teacher in 1971 Adelaide, but she is more interested in seeing life through the lens of her camera. To make matters worse, she has to suffer the indignities of living at home with her parents (Heather Mitchell and Marshall Napier). Her older sister Bronwyn (Sacha Horler) is finding it difficult to adjust to married life in remote Yallaroo with her husband Brian (Tamblyn Lord) and runs away. Then, visiting American hip poet Lou (Brett Stiller) comes to town, urging all to 'seek out the light'.The younger generation embraces the challenge enthusiastically, and Leanne's neighbor Gary (Tim Draxl) and her friend Debra (Anna Torv), are drawn to Lou.
