Cast: Jenny Agutter, David Gulpilil, Lucien John
When a white teenage girl and her younger brother find themselves lost in the Australian outback, a young Aborigine appears and offers them aid. Roeg’s first solo outing as a director casts a hypnotic spell over its audience as it explores resonant themes of nature vs. civilization, and the disorienting, but ultimately beneficial, intersection of two vastly different cultures.
