It’s not just about farting corpses: 10 Sydney film festival drawcards
Last year’s Sydney film festival threw down the gauntlet to cinephiles, challenging only the city’s bravest vitamin D-deprived souls to sit through a five-and-a-half hour Portuguese allegorical comedy about the state of the economy. There doesn’t appear to be anything so butt-crunching on this year’s program, although – staying on the butt theme for a moment – there is Swiss Army Man, the already infamous “farting corpse movie” starring Daniel Radcliffe as, well, a farting corpse. We’re not going to take the bait and include such irresistibly out-there indie fare on this list of 10 things to see and do at the festival.

In a decade when one in three Australian cars sold was a Holden, with the Kingswood the top-seller, the Australian arm of the American multinational designed some sexy concepts that were meant to go into production. The beautiful Torana GTR-X almost did in 1969 in an era when the E-Type Jaguar was still being made in England, and 48 years before Holden stopped making cars in Australia. Holden could have built Australia's answer to the legendary E-Type Jaguar or even its very own Lamborghini competitor during the 1960s (Holden Hurricane concept from 1969 pictured) A new book, Kings of the Road: 50 Cars That Drove Australia, said the two-door coupe, … [Read more...] about ‘It might have saved the Australian car industry’: Why Holden didn’t build supercars that could have rivalled the E-Type Jaguar and Lamborghini – and how it missed the SUV revolution
