Product Information

Nicolas Roeg's solo directorial debut is a haunting, unconventional narrative film that presents a bleak vision of civilized life as arid and unrewarding. Abandoned in the Australian outback, two young white children (Jenny Agutter and Roeg's son Lucien) stumble upon an adolescent Aborigine (David Gulpilil), who is performing a "walkabout." In this ritualistic six-month journey, the boy must learn to survive by himself in the imposing desert. Communication is a problem, although more for the girl than for her little brother, who still has a child's ability to communicate simply and directly. The two teenagers fail to connect for a variety of reasons, mostly due to the girl's lack of interest in a culture that is unfamiliar and different from her own. Ultimately, the differences become too much to bear, resulting in a tragic conclusion that adds an even more somber denouement to Roeg's already grim vision. Based on the novel by James Vance Marshall, WALKABOUT is a powerful commentary on pastoral simplicity versus cosmopolitan clutter, and features stunning cinematography from Roeg.

  • Excellent

    This movie has become a classic film. An important look at life in the Australian outback in the 70's. To me, it is a singular work of art.

  • One of Roger Ebert's favorite films!

    Great filming of the Australian remote outback and of the race relations and cooperation between youth. Film was well ahead of it's time and a great launch of the acting career of a 16-year old girl that we currently see on the PBS series "Call the Midwife". Buy it, you will love it!
