*1. A Real Pain*
A Real Pain clunks together two vastly different Jewish-American cousins, David and Benji. One emotionally repressed, the other volatile and drifting, they set out on a heritage tour to Poland to honour their late grandmother, a Holocaust survivor.

When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck),who takes her back to his apartment for safety.

Can you imagine the scandal if something like that happened today? Instead this movie delivers a warm hug. One of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, with the amazing backdrop of Rome.

This pivotal event forces the young couple to embark on a challenging journey of survival. As they face the harsh realities of the world beyond their community, they discover that life can be unkind, but love never passes judgment.
The main reason for the film’s importance is it enables white Australians who cannot be bothered reading books or engaging with Indigenous Australians in an
