I loved the book so was apprehensive about the TV series which was screened by Sky Atlantic.
Screenplay by Tim Winton, however, so the few changes that were made are totally acceptable.
I enjoyed the DVD even more than the book and watch it over and over.
This has to be the best acted, most beautiful production for TV ever. How I wish British television could produce such a masterpiece.
I hope someone from the BBC saw the series. They could do with a few tips!

"Cloudstreet" is the story told over two decades of two Australian families, the Lambs' and the Pickles' who live in the suburbs of a town in western Australia, presumably Perth, and how events bring them together in one house and keep them together through the good times and bad times during the 1940s and 1950s. It is a totally involving and moving account of triumph and tragedy, disability, alcoholism, personal loss, devotion and the bonds between people that keep them going through thick and thin.
The whole cast is superb, with Kerry Fox being particularly outstanding and the production is first rate and once you are hooked you must keep watching to see how the lives of the two families develop and change.

It's the Lamb and the Pickle family living together in a house on Cloudstreet. A house with problems just like they have.
It's the characters that you get to love. Very nicely played by an excellent cast.
It's what Aussies do well, funny, dramatic, strange and utterly charming.

Cloudstreet
A very unusual film to come out of Australia set back so long ago. All the acting was good especially the actor who took the part of the younger son. Read more
