If Australia hit the spot, these will too

Baz Luhrmann working the same nerve twice
The difference: Not nearly as epic as Australia

One thread runs through both: world war ii
The difference: Sits closer to history than Australia does

Epic where it counts, romantic underneath

Both land tenderness and stillness at once

Both lean on scale more than on romance
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both keep coming back to the same thing: world war ii

Romantic drama in both cases

Adventure built on tenderness, twice over

Contemplative romance, and it commits to that

Both are Baz Luhrmann's work, and they rhyme
The difference: None of the scale Australia is built on

Adventure with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Both lean on romance more than on drama
In the mood for more epic?
