Walkabout (The Criterion Collection)
A young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh Australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world, without their usual comforts, in this hypnotic masterpiece from Nicolas Roeg. Along the way, they meet a young aborigine on his “walkabout,” a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone.
This movie is currently sitting in my instant netflix queue. We’re getting the cable shut off, so I will move it on up the list to watch, asap.
