Wanted to add a couple points: A tremendous Bravo to Severin, which is fast becoming an elite outfit in the restoration sphere. This (newer) batch of extras is superior to the ones from the Criterion DVD-9 release. (Sole exception would be the candid, half-hour doc on the life of David Gulpilil, who passed in 2021, which is absent here. But there is another feature length doc on him that can likely be found with a bit of searching.) Thanks very much to RL for this post !
Forgot to mention: those Criterion DVD-9s were a 2-disc set.

One of the few cinema masterpieces that stands comparison with “Don’t Look Now”, absolutely confirms Nic Roeg as an all-time great. Further evidence that digital cameras simply cannot match the sheer quality and futureproofing inherent in 35mm. There is a certain sense of ‘hunger’ in Nic’s cinematography, almost as if being largely ostracised and ‘not understood’ by Hollywood actually added to his canon. Thank you, Rarelust, for this excellent print along with the many ‘DVD extras’, much appreciated!
A singular film, one of the very best that I’ve ever seen, over several decades worth of film obsession. One that should stay with you. Thanks very much.
It stayed with me as something I could not finish watching on account of utter boredom. And I did try. There is not one bit of this story, as far as I could get, that does not come off as an obvious parable, and telling obvious parables should be punishable by law.
” I never tire of seeing Walkabout. It is an amazingly beautiful, unique, spellbinding picture; an erotic, eerie, ethereal work which, like other Roeg films, those of Peter Weir, and David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1978)” – Danny Peary Cult Movies (1980).
That said, in the 2023 post-COVID speed of life can be a sleeper for some audience, myself I was bored with Mission Impossible No.7.
We were forced to endure this film in High School in suburban Sydney back in the 70’s. It was a 16mm print shown in the school auditorium, and the sound was just booming echo around the concrete cave of the hall. It didn’t help that the movie was both very odd and excruciatingly boring. It was one of my worst memories from High School. Whichever teacher that it would be a good idea to show this to 300 teenagers in a school hall should have been horsewhipped.
Recommended without reservations!
Young Jenny Agutter is so fine in this. Can’t wait to see it in HD. Roeg’s best film, IMO.
For a film re age of consent them old age actor interviews “the way we were” kind of redundant really, commentaries yes please! Thanks RL.
