A Place Called Robertson

| 13 March 2013 (USA)

A celebration of the spirit found in an Australian rural village. Old timer farmers rub shoulders with newcomer creative people which include some of Australia's most famous artists and composers seeking a tree change. They discover in Robertson there is more than just trees. Above all, the residents of Robertson want to retain their town as a rural village. Collectively the community, old and new, vigorously fight against the invasion of the outside world, threats of a large jail, bores which deplete the aquifers and coal seam gas mining. In a contemporary world that sometimes questions the advantages of social media technology, A Place Called Robertson is a snapshot of traditional Australian values, a magical film, celebrating the spirit that can be found in a small Australian rural village.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This small and unassuming town, perhaps on the map for many already because it's where the "rock star" of Australian art, Ben Quilty, lives and also because it's that jaw-droppingly gorgeous setting the movie "Babe" was filmed in, is about to get a whole lot more famous. If the combination of sweetness, quirk, humor and achingly beautiful landscape don't get you wondering if it's time to think about moving to the country, the unmistakably cool vibe of the place will. This film manages to capture both the sleepiness of a small, rural community while peeling back this veneer to expose the thriving artistic and historical heart of the place. By the end of the movie, you feel like a local yourself. If you can't sell the house in the city and move to a farmhouse overlooking a misty valley dotted with cows and a kitchen table crowded with artists, potato farmers and composers, you can at least immerse yourself in the experience for a short while by watching this film. Highly recommended.

Tony and Anna Williams have captured well the spirit of the community, and the physical beauty of the district. They also show our quirks and a few "crazies" as well, which is good, because we are not all saints and movie-stars. Far from it. The visual beauty of the film stems from the district, but the character of the people is what really shines through. Robertson somehow attracts, or even creates, interesting people who combine to be a strongly bonded community. We share the mists, the rain, the mud and the occasional sunshine, and blossom into a beautiful flower which you get to see bloom in "A place called Robertson".
