ep368: Walkabout (1971)
from Video Monsters Hosted by Video Monsters
Come along as we turn the page on the first of our three-part trek into the weird, wild, and wonderful world of Australian cinema as we discuss the heartwarming story of two siblings and an Aborigine boy stranded in the Outback on a journey of self-discovery into the dark heart of mankind, the casual cruelty of civilized society, our inability or unwillingness to communicate due to internalized prejudice, and our incessant longing for a romanticized version of a past that never was and a future that never will be. *Deep breath* So grab your didgeridoo, swat away the flies, and take a dip with us as we dive deep into Nicolas Roeg’s gorgeous nihilistic masterpiece, WALKABOUT (1971).
