Walkabout

"It's about walking and other things..."

The doomed love story of an aboriginal boy (David Gulpilil) on his walkabout and a young girl whose father just abandoned her and her young brother in the desert before shooting himself. She tries to find their way home with the help of the aboriginal whose name we never learn. This may be the part for which Gulpilil is most famous, at least internationally.

The weirdest coming of age story ever made. I think. Although I haven't watched them all. Thankfully.

Favorite Moment: Kangaroo dance.
