Ten Canoes
Excellent movie, a fascinating insight into life in Australia before white colonists. The story has two intertwining threads -- the routine of the hunting ritual, and the passion of a unique love story. We're pretty much used to hearing about the "dreamtime" stories in primary school, and then later in high schools we here about Aboriginal life after 1788, but are never really exposed to what daily life was like. This film shows the humour, the routine, the love, the jealousy and gives a real sense of everyday living. More than anything it shows the patience and harmony that the Aboriginals of the story had with themselves and with their natural environment.
