Australia

Australia is a 1989 French-Belgian-Swiss romantic drama directed by Jean-Jacques Andrien, with a screenplay and dialogue credited to Jacques Audiard. The film brought together well-known performers of the period, starring Fanny Ardant and Jeremy Irons, with Tchéky Karyo, Agnès Soral and Dorothy Alison rounding out the cast. Its score was composed by the Italian composer Nicola Piovani, while Marie-Pascale Osterrieth contributed to the production side of the film. As a three-country co-production, it reflects the kind of cross-border filmmaking arrangement that was common in European cinema of that era.
