Hotel Coolgardie is my favourite Australian film of all time - Pete Gleeson's documentary perfectly portrays what happens to women when they comply to the patriarchy (represented by the original barmaids), and the awful repercussions when they don't. Despite being a documentary, it plays like a horror film - it's Wake in Fight, it's Wolf Creek, but it portrays the real life horror of life for women in Australian outback towns. I was deeply disturbed but incredibly enlightened by this amazing piece of documentary filmmaking. Bravo.
