The Tracker

The Tracker, 2002
Director: Rolf de Heer, 35mm / 98’
Starring: David Gulpilil, Gary Sweet, Damon Gameau

It is 1922, somewhere in Australia. When a native Australian is accused of murdering a white woman, three white men (The Fanatic, The Follower, and The Veteran) are assigned the task of capturing him with the help of an experienced native (The Tracker). The four men start tracking in the outback, but their inner struggle against and for racism supercedes their quest for the accused. This legendary movie is a striking tale of a hunt that takes place in the wild with action reminiscent of Westerns and fine acting.
