Review of Walkabout (1971) by Sam W — 05 Dec 2013
Nicolas Roeg's classic adventure drama is sublime and mysterious; open to many interpretations and encourages serious after-thought. The contrast between urban civilization and and the natural world is explored beautifully in powerful imagery of almost hallucinogenic intensity, particularly memorable is the striking scene in which Gulpilil's spearing and bludgeoning of animals inter-cut with shots of the stunning Jenny Agutter swimming naked.
An under-appreciated masterpiece.
