Ten Canoes
Ten Canoes
Set centuries ago and in mythical times, writer/director Rolf de Heer's (The Quiet Room, Bad Boy Bubby) surreal tragi-comedy is the first feature film to be shot entirely in an indigenous Aboriginal language (predominantly Ganalbingu). In the remote Arafura Swamp region of northern of Australia—before the coming of white people—Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil) covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from long ago—a cautionary tale of love, lust and revenge gone wrong. With English narration by the great David Gulpilil (Walkabout).
