With very little dialogue and virtually nothing explained, it was a profound experience of shocking loss, disorientation in a deadly yet beautiful environment, and finding one's way back. Accustomed to the pat formats of hollywood, I had never seen anything like it: little resolution, reflection, or overt lessons. Yet it stimulated a great dialogue with my father, who had insisted that I accompany him to it in the face of my adolescent unwillingness. Though I have not seen it since 1972, its images stuck with me as if in a dream. Now, nearly 40 years later, I bought it for my daughter, to nurture her interest in anthropology. I am happy to say that she was swept into it in the same way, wondering what it meant and wanting to learn more. What better success could there be for a film experience than that? The story begins in a normal city in AUstralia. A father takes...

If you already have the regular DVD released years earlier, with using an upconversion DVD player, the Criterion Edition adds little in the way of probable added film quality. The insert material indicates a new high-definition digital transfer, made from the original negative, with dirt, debris, etc. removed. And the soundtrack was remastered. The audio commentary with the film is the same as in the original DVD. The digital transfer was approved by Nicholas Roeg. But this is a Criterion Edition, so one expects some nice extras, and one is not disappointed. There is an interesting interview with Jenny Agutter, and a separate one with Luc Roeg. But one of the nice added features is an almost hour long feature on the life and career of David Gulpilil. The feature with David Gulpilil is both fascinating and worthwhile. The supplemental material is rather recent. So for those...

It's worth picking up the Blu-ray for the 1080P resolution nature photography of the 1970s Australian Outback, but there's so much more to the film than that. Adapted from James Vance Marshall's novel, the film departs from the source material at several crucial points. The first is the children's method of becoming stranded in the outback; instead of a relatively straight forward plane crash, the film presents a bizarre scenario of a family picnic gone terribly wrong. Fathers committing murder-suicides upon their families was virtually unheard of in 1971, but is unfortunately all too common today. The teenage girl and her barely school-age brother venture out into the wilderness as symbols of the British ruling class, their starched school uniforms a stark contrasts with the wilderness all around them. Jenny Agutter carries the film, since it is from the teenage girl's perspective that we... Read more |
