Walkabout (1971)
Country: AUS
Technical: col 100m
Director: Nicolas Roeg
Cast: Jenny Agutter, Lucien John, David Gumpilil
Synopsis:
A father drives his two children into the Australian bush and kills himself, leaving them to fend for themselves with the help of an aboriginal on his adolescent rite of passage.
Review:
The director's first solo effort and the semi-experimental nature of the production allows him to be even more portentous in his editing than in later films. It established a style, and to a degree a content, as it is a powerful story of cross-cultural misunderstanding.
