ten canoes

[ljplicease]

Went to see Ten Canoes after a long days work. It was a very good film, if you are into indy stuff. It's purports to be the first film made entirely in an Australian language, although I couldn't help but notice that the narrator speaks in English. It's a fascinating unromanticized glimpse into a very different world, which manages to maintain a great deal of dignity and humor. The plot has many branches, like an old tree. The pace of the film is quite slow, but that is part of the film's charm.

Now I am very tired and will be retiring to my warm bed. Thank you and good night.
