<br>When Australian New age movies burst on to world movie theater screens in the 1970s, sceptical audiences were at first baffled by the [broad accents](http://cuulonghousing.com.vn) and peculiar colloquialisms.<br> |
|

|
<br>Sunday Too Far, an iconic tale about male culture and commitment in a 1950s shearing shed, was the first big hit of Australia's golden age of movie theater however Americans were especially dumbfounded by it, manufacturer Matt Carroll keeps in mind.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>"They acknowledged that Sunday was an excellent film however they didn't understand it," he states.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>"It was quite incomprehensible to anybody who wasn't an Australian. At American screenings, you might also have had it in Dutch."<br> |
|
|
|
<br>But French audiences were even more inviting of the movie at Cannes Directors Fortnight, thanks to the better half of an Adelaide vehicle dealership who ['d offered](https://salonrenter.com) Carroll a Peugeot.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>"She stated, 'oh yes beloved, I know Parisian street slang, I'll equate it all for you (into subtitles)'," Carroll continues.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>"I keep in mind being in the cinema and the very first thing that shows up is somebody in the shearing shed says about the squatter, 'his shit doesn't stink'. When it was translated, the Parisian slang for that is 'he farts above his asshole'."<br> |
|
|
|
<br>In the huge screening space, "the entire audience simply went insane, absolutely insane, and we got a substantial sale to France", Carroll laughs.<br>[strattonequities.com](https://www.strattonequities.com/blog) |

<br>"It's the language of the bush," explains famous Australian star Jack Thompson, who depicted the hard-drinking gun shearer, Foley.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>"There's a wonderful camaraderie revealed in that motion picture. Sunday states something far more profound about the Australian character than a number of other movies that examined our success and failures."<br> |

<br>Thompson, who left home at 14 to work as a jackaroo in the NT, says "it resembled a journal, it was just how individuals behaved - I keep in mind, because as a teenager, I was in those sheds.<br> |

<br>"Sunday Too Far has a truly vital part in my career and in my memory |
