Bordertown

Welcome to my Bordertown
Page!
Here you’ll find screencaps and quotes of
this Australian mini-series starring Hugo Weaving as Kenneth, regretful widower
and sarcastic and witty teacher of the Baringa camp.
 To the outside, Baringa appears bleak and remote:
a converted army barracks in a dusty, isolated region of Australia, miles
from the sea. It is hardly the place you would pick to start a new life,
but for its inhabitants, it’s where their dreams begin (and sometimes
are crumbled).
But the rough Australian landscape and lack of
luxuries cannot deter the temporary inhabitants of Baringa. They flock from
Italy, the Netherlands, England and beyond to gain a foothold on a new
existence. Among their number are craftsmen, tormented lovers, rigid
military types and drifters with a criminal past. Their languages and goals
may differ, but this diverse population is united in their hopes of a fresh
start, a break that will finally change their luck. (from the DVD cover)
Although it can
hardly be defined as Hugo-centric, this tv-movie is very enjoyable and
despite its nine hours length, you just want to find out more and more
about the characters, some more interesting than others, but all
contributing to an amazing ensemble performance! The chemistry between Hugo
Weaving and Christine Tremarco (who plays
Kenneth’s daughter) was especially impressing and touching.
