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. Besides Roeg showcasing some beautiful nature documentary scenes here, some less pretty ones too, as it captures traditional ways of animal hunting, mainly kangaroos, there is also a strong story of two children who have to try to survive in the desert. And they succeed, but logically it must have some impact on them. In this aspect, the film is strong as it confronts our civilization with what is out there, what we do not understand.
