Movie Reviews of Ten Canoes
Movie Review: A Rewarding Cinematic Glimpse into the Aboriginal Culture
Summary: 4 Stars
The best film I've seen about the aboriginal culture of Australia.
After watching this film for 10-15 minutes, the viewer either will be intrigued by the story, acting & cinematography or convinced that it's not to their liking. If you enjoy cinematic art, you will be rewarded richly by De Heers' respectful portrayal of the indigenous people - their humor, hunting and gathering expeditions, and everyday life in the lands where they and their ancestors lived and died for centuries.
The aboriginal cast speaking in the native language of Ganalbingu adds a degree of authenticity that few film makers ever capture and that enriches the viewing experience. Watching this production is akin to being an unseen visitor in a world that is so different from any that most of us will ever encounter or imagine.
To heighten appreciation of the tremendous effort and care that went into making this film, I highly recommend watching the Special Feature entitled BALANDA & THE MAKING OF TEN CANOES.
