Review of Samson and Delilah (2009) by Chris G — 15 Sep 2009
A young Australian aboriginal couple leave there isolated community and try to survive on there own in a neighboring town.
Saw this at TIFF 2009. Not much dialogue in this one. The male character only speaks once and the female character may have five lines of dialogue. The couple never speaks to each other. The film works mainly through situation repetition where, for example, the girl walks around meekly trying to sell her art. Next time this situation shows up, she tries to sell her art she's basically shoving it in people's faces.
Not having dialogue actually helps out the film because if it did have dialogue it would have felt like you were watching a made for television movie of the week.
