The Toledo Museum of Art has been showing a series of Australian films—tying in with the Crossing Cultures exhibit of contemporary, indigenous Australian art—and those films have been pretty dark. Bran Nue Dae, however, is quite the opposite. A comedy adapted from a 1990 stage musical, the film follows the story of Willie, who runs away from the seminary in Perth, Australia. The film tells the story of his misadventures on the road back to his home in Broome. It's a long ride through the Australian outback, only made possible with the help of two hippies and a host of comic nut jobs.
Friday, June 21, Free. 7:30pm. The Toledo Museum of Art, The Little Theater. 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. www.toledomuseum.org
