Walkabout*
(GB/Australia/US 1970)
Twentieth Century Fox/Max L. Raab-Si Litvinoff. 100m.
A teenage schoolgirl and her younger brother are deserted in the wild outback to wander along with an Aborigine native before eventually finding sanctuary.
Mainly symbolic rite-of-passage drama excuse for the director to photograph arid Australian locations, quite arty and less harsh than the similar Lord of the Flies, and also something of a cult for those familiar with the Jenny Agutter of The Railway Children, who somehow manages to keep her poise throughout the whole bewildering endeavour.
Written by: Edward Bond, from the novel by James Vance Marshall.
Producer: Si Litvinoff.
Director/Photography: Nicolas Roeg.
Starring: Jenny Agutter, Lucien John, David Gulpilil, John Meillon.
Music: John Barry.
