Movie Haiku:Luhrmann pulls out all the stops in this extravagant epic built on Hollywood cliches: GIANT, OUT OF AFRICA, RED RIVER & dozens more swirl into a grand finale echoing FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. Rich enjoyed some bits, but Jan detected method in the madness--intending to teach Australian myths to American audiences.
