Baz Luhrmann’s epic film, Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, hits UK cinema screens on Boxing Day — but thanks to Culture+ you can see it before the crowds.

Set in the Australian outback, this romantic adventure takes place as the second world war begins. An English aristocrat (Kidman) and an uncouth drover (Jackman) set out to save the cattle station she has inherited, their journey taking them across some of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain.
