Movie Review

Walkabout-

Made in Australia in 1971. This movie is about an upper class girl and her young brother being stranded in the outback and meeting a 16 year old aborigine boy who helps them avoid peril.

The movie is full of amazing beautiful scenery and images.

Not a single character in the movie has a name, and yet you feel connected and engrossed in them.

This is a criterion disk I picked up at Hollywood Video as they were selling everything off. I got it for $4. QUite a bargain.

See this movie if you get a chance. It's on Netflix streaming.

Poem from the end of the movie:
Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? This is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain. The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
