Review of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) by Trent R — 13 Dec 2009
Great to see this on DVD, but it made me wonder if the score was mixed so prominently for the theatrical print. That, and the unsubtle shots of blood spray on domestic items such as eggs, milk, and white dresses took me right out of perhaps the most dramatic scene.
It being `78, this is really no surprise. Still, it's an incredible film - and a huge contrast to more recent epic takes on Australia and romanticization of Aborigines.
