It's a slow movie with nature shots of the Australian bushes, and blues music in the background (by a native group I have to assume), this makes it a comfy movie. Some gallows humour complements it.
Theme is western, the story is about a group of law enforcement guys chasing a native fugitive with a help of a native tracker. I think all - the fugitive too - from the same organization. It has an obvious agenda, contrasting a racist white with wise natives. Kinda liek how they tend to do it in American westerns.
The movie operates with a notable tool, drawn stills are cut into the film at certain points to substitute showing certain (gruesome) events. This also makes it feel like as if it was put together from chapters, and these images are closing and old and opening a new. Also spares some acting and special effects for the crew to do.
The tracker himself goes through a transformation. Each stop in his arc also gives me the feeling of chapters following each other.
I don't mind that I watched twice, I noticed stuff I haven't on the first screening.
