I'd been after seeing this film for a long time given the subject matter and the fact that Herzog is one of my all-time favourite directors. Unsurprisingly, I loved it. The story explores Aboriginal folklore in a sensative and captivating way and can be ranked alongside other genre classics like THE LAST WAVE and THE CHANT OF JIMMY BLACKSMITH. Herzog's wonderful cinematography brings the landscapes to beautiful life and the courtroom drama is just as engaging as the on-site hostility. Great to see the usual supporting actor Bruce Spence given a meatier role, too. Along the way, Herzog delivers many scenes that will stay in my mind a long time.
