Charlie's Country by Rolf de Heer
part of the Film Club of Cannes

Charlie, a former Aboriginal Warrior, is struggling to accept the modern world and the laws of whites which seem absurd, when his peers seem to have given up. He decides to return to live in the bush after the manner of the ancients. But his fate will take another path: that of his own redemption.

An incredibly human film, directed with great finesse and poetry. An affecting portrait interpreted by a rare but great actor for a moving testimony about the living conditions of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia.
