BREAKER MORANT
May 2, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Australian actress Jacki Weaver, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, hosts this month’s Friday night salute to movies from her native land. The salute begins tonight, in prime time, with two of the best Australian movies ever to make a impact here in the States, starting with 1980’s Breaker Morant, directed by Bruce Beresford. Edward Woodward stars in the title role, as a lieutenant in the Boer War in a unit accused of war crimes – crimes actually ordered by superior officers.
