Charlie's Country (2013)
One of the best pieces of cinema I have seen

This depicts the current situation that the indigenous face as a cultural consequence of invasion in 1788. It is acted out with precision by award-winning David Gulpilil and directed beautifully by de Heer to capture the nature and landscape of regional Australia. A very important piece of Australian history, told in a heartfelt way. Scenes of Northern Territory in Australia are captured exactly how the state is, a humid climate, torrential rains, greenery. There are a few bits of comedy throughout, which are presented in a respectful way. Fantastic show of traditions. Rolf de Heer should be commended again for another fantastic movie. Gulpilil won best actor in Cannes for this, not surprisingly. Every Australian must see.
