Sydney, Paperback by Mitchell, Neil (EDT), ISBN 1783203625, ISBN-13 9781783203628, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, Sydney has been represented onscreen since the earliest days of cinema. The site of the first British colony, the city constantly ranks highly for the quality of life afforded to Sydneysiders. An eclectic combination of tough inner city suburbs, beachside communities and greener outlying suburbs, Sydney as a setting for movies offers many intriguing possibilities. The tensions and differences found between its multi-cultural inhabitants, poorer and wealthier suburbs and central business district and beaches are reflected, exaggerated and critiqued in memorable movies such as The Last Wave, Puberty Blues, Strictly Ballroom and Little Fish among many others. Sydney is a city where sun, sport and surf rub shoulders with crime, racial tensions and class divides.
