Thanks for writing about Kurzel's work. I saw Snowtown years ago and one moment stands in my mind as the most disturbing scene in horror films. I haven't seen the guy's work since—but this convinced me to catch up.

Thank you, Ken. Yeah, the word I keep returning to is "unflinching." Though I compared the miniseries to Malick (relatively), there are some brutal moments there as well.

Thank you! I took the 2nd New Wave idea from our conversation not long ago. I think we're on to something!

Really interesting overview. I'm going to watch The Order this weekend.

Thank you, Kevin, I hope you like it. That and the miniseries being available to stream here on the same day is notable and I think might be the centerpiece of his filmography for some years to come.
