Meryl

The best Australian movie.

Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2014

Verified Purchase

I still think this stacks up as the best Australian movie ever to explain the cultural tensions between an ancient Aboriginal culture and a modern European one through the story of individuals in a small,outback community. It illustrates the complexities and difficulties of finding common understandings - sometimes impossible even when participants want nothing else - unlike many films which deal in lazy generalizations about races and push a particular political position.This film is far more intelligent than that but consequently poses some difficult challenges for a viewer's preconceived attitudes, as most of us are not confronted by the problems explored in this film.

Touches the living heart

Reviewed in the United States on 23 January 2003

Bryan Brown heads an excellent cast in this tightly-scripted story about a clash between Australian and Aboriginal law. Brown is a "whitefella" torn between his duty as a policeman, and his connection to the land and community. His counterpart (Ernie Dingo) is a "blackfella" with the opposite problem--his aesthetics lie with the mainstream culture, but his heart forces him to stand by aboriginal customs. Behind these two men are a host of other characters, each adding a rich note to the theme of ambivalence connected to life in an outback settlement.
Dingo's final plea for tolerance strikes right to the heart. A wonderful film.
One comment: DVD is not captioned and the complex story can be a bit hard to follow--there were places I had to back up and watch twice to understand the Aboriginal side of the story. It was worth it!

"This Dirty Little Hole Is My Dreaming" ~ Getting Caught In The Middle

Reviewed in the United States on 23 August 2005

Verified Purchase

Ray (Bryan Brown), the resident white police officier in a remote region of the Australian Outback finds himself in over his head when a young male is murdered for descrating a local sacred site. Ray's attempts to locate the killer are hampered by the local aborginal community which views the death as required and justifiable by ancient tribal law. And so the confrontation begins.

Another great Australian film dealing with the vast differences between "white man's law" and the "old ways" of aboriginal society. Great performance by Bryan Brown and a nice cameo appearance by David Gulpilil.

Ok movie

Reviewed in the United States on 1 January 2013

While I like Bryan Brown's other projects, this one is a bit difficult to understand at times sue to the heavy Australian accents. I LOVE accents but had to strain to hear these at times. It's worth keeping it for the collection no matter what.

Great Australian Movie

Reviewed in the United States on 5 July 2010

Verified Purchase

This Australian movie is great in plot and direction it really shows the difference between Australian's both indigenous and non indigenous and how some people have to make choices regarding their culture.

I loved watching it again and I now own a copy of it for my own DVD collection.....
