Aroview: Uniquely conceived parable enacted in the heat of Australia's outback in 1922, where David Gulpilil is an Aboriginal tracker forced to help three constables track a fugitive from a massacre.

Replete with symbolism, 'significant' dialogue and an eerie score by Archie Roach, this addresses the racial issues of Australian history with a bold setup that deserves praise, despite its obviousness.

4 stars (Very Good) An Aboriginal tracker guides three racist white officials through the outback in search of another Aboriginal accused of killing a white woman. Witness to arbitary killings of innocent Aborigines, he quietly plots his revenge. Brilliant. Stunning. ~GenXGirl
