In years to come, the work that Rolf de Heer and David Gulpilil have done together in the past dozen years will take an exalted place in the history of Australian film. There is no partnership like it in our cinema.
Through The Tracker (2002), Ten Canoes (2006) and now this beautiful, culminating film, Gulpilil and de Heer have created a patchwork of Aboriginal stories, both spiritual and temporal. The Tracker was history, Ten Canoes was pre-history and Charlie’s Country is about the present.
Charlie’s Country review: Rolf de Heer and David Gulpilil produce a work for the ages.
