In 2002, Australian director Phillip Noyce returned to top form with two films — a dark adaptation of Graham Greene’s disturbing Vietnam novel, The Quiet American, and the movie that set last October’s Denver Film Festival abuzz, Rabbit-Proof Fence. It’s the heroic story of three half-caste Aborigine girls who run away from a Dickensian government orphanage in the 1930s, crossing 1,500 miles of the Outback to reach home. Beautiful and moving, it won the festival’s audience-appreciation award and — even better — can be seen right now in theatrical release.
