Abstract

ABSTRACT The film The Castle (1997) is part of Australia’s cultural and national identity. Australians love how much we love the film, and we see ourselves in the working-class Kerrigan family at the centre of the story. Yet one of the co-writers of the film, Santo Cilauro, suggests that The Castle is as much an Italian film as an Australian one. The interview with Cilauro explores the transnational nature of this ‘national’ film and offers a case study of a popular film to inform critical approaches to transnational cinema.
