Nicolas Roeg's mystical masterpiece chronicles the physical , spiritual , and emotional journey of a sister and brother abandoned in the harsh Australian outback. Joining an Aborginal on his walkabout - a tribal initiation into manhood - these modern children pass from innocence into experience as they are thrust from the comforts of civilisation into the savagery of the natural world. One of the most individualistic and visually accomplished filmmakers of our time, Roeg perfectly captures the tragic conflict between natural instincts and civillised behaviour.

A film that is definitely worth seeing. In addition to showcasing some beautiful documentary scenes of nature, Roeg also captures some less pleasant ones, as he depicts traditional methods of hunting animals, especially kangaroos. But there's also a strong story of two children who must try to survive in the wilderness. And they do, but logically it has to have some impact on them. The film is also powerful in this way as it confronts our civilization and what is out there that we don't understand.
