Blacktown

 

Australia 2005, 92 minutes
Dir. Kriv Stenders
Genres: Drama / Independent

Topics: Indigenous & Minority Cultures.

 

Aroview: Rough-edged but rewarding human drama interested in the relationship between a disenchanted married woman and a charismatic Aboriginal man in smalltown outback Australia.

Providing an accurate and sensitive portrayal of a relationship's trajectory, it deftly sketches their differences and shows the difficulty of breaking down barriers based on race, class or gender. Largely improvised from a script outline based on lead actor Tony Ryan's life, this has the charm and authenticity to overcome the film's obvious budget restrictions.
