Review of Samson and Delilah (2009) by Sol H — 17 Oct 2009
Samson and Delilah are two young Aborigines who decide to leave their tiny isolated town into the harsh unforgiving "real" world. The version I saw did not have English subtitles (it was in French) and more than half the spoken dialogue is in Aboriginal language but that doesn't matter because there was barely any actual dialogue in the film.
What remains is a fascinating story of a journey between two young people. Excellent performances by the two leads. This is Australia's entry to the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar category. I hope it gets a nom.
