For me, this is a solid, brutal depiction of racism in Australian colonial times that still has resonance today. The length of the film however, seems a bit unnecessary and the brutality displayed against the white settlers is most probably too confronting for Australian audiences to accept, which is probably why this was a more widely acclaimed film in the rest of the world compared with the more muted acclaim it receives in Australia (possibly only praised among film students and critics). Tommy Lewis has a larrikin naiivity that is both charming and tortured and is great as the 'Christianised' aborigine caught between the dreamtime and the crucifixion. In the end there are no heroes, no accolades but the preservation of a faux genial whitewashed society. This is perhaps what Australians are still not quite ready to accept. Did we right any of these numerous wrongs? And, what steps are we taking to reach that point of awareness?

The movie is gorgeous pure filmmaking even when we wince at the violence - and we do, because Schepisi doesn't present it as cathartic or exciting.

A raw, brutal, powerhouse story that all Australians need to see. Way ahead of its time both in terms of production values, storytelling and topically, this is a stunning film.

powerful film about the racism inflicted on Austrailia's indigenous peoples.

Great to see this on DVD, but it made me wonder if the score was mixed so prominently for the theatrical print. That, and the unsubtle shots of blood spray on domestic items such as eggs, milk, and white dresses took me right out of perhaps the most dramatic scene. It being `78, this is really no surprise. Still, it's an incredible film - and a huge contrast to more recent epic takes on Australia and romanticization of Aborigines.
