Review of Walkabout (1971) by Mike V — 08 Jun 2017

Nicolas Roeg's 'Walkabout' is a film bursting with beautiful imagery in every frame. It is perhaps one of the first (and certainly most memorable) movies to use the barren Aussie outback as a backdrop for it's journey of an adolescent girl and her younger brother who are lost and receive help from an Aborigine man on his own, personal 'walkabout'.

Cultural complications arise when the man falls in love with the girl (who is anxious to return to her home in the suburbs).
