Luhrmann dismisses bad press for 'Australia'

Baz Luhrmann has hit out at critics who rubbished his epic 'Australia' - insisting his films always attract negative reviews because they don't fit Hollywood's movie mould.

The moviemaker spent four years and $130m (€93m) on the homage to his homeland - which stars Aussie stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman as lovers during World War II.
