In Australia, when an Aborigine man-child reaches sixteen, he is sent out into the land. For months he must live from it. Sleep on it. Even if it means killing his fellow creatures. The Aborigines call it the WALKABOUT.
A lot of randomness in this movie but it doesn't take anything away from the beauty or message of this film. It has 3 things all great films have. Story, sound and imagery.
Stars Jenny Agutter. 5 years later she would be chased by sandmen because she's going to turn 30 and 5 years after that she falls in love with a werewolf.
The one thing I could never figure out is what was up the people and the weather balloons?

An excellent film, but sad at the end. What I couldn't figure out is why the Dad was trying to kill his kids. Obviously, he's insane, but I wanted more of an explanation than that.
And David Gulpilil would provide excellent comedy relief in
Crocodile Dundee.

I think he lost his job. It was implied when he sat down on the bench. And the worried look down on the children in the pool. And of course her husband's remark in the end about promotion - the survival game of civilised men cf. that in the outback. Just my gut feeling
Wheatherguys … well that was just how the baloons that they caught were lost. -

Wow!
A Blast From The Past!
I don't think losing his job would cause him to try and kill his children. I think he just went bat **** crazy.

Well …
That’s a matter of opinion. It didn’t make him try of course right away as such it just triggered something that snapped in his mind.
Why else would Roeg make her flashback when her husband mentions old mel losing his job.
