Blistering and hypnotic. About juxtaposition, communication, and 'noise'. As if viewed from the impassive non-judgemental view of a passing creature. Roeg is a master storyteller and artist and this film effortlessly tells its story with a mixture of obvious and subtle clues, and while immersing you in this walkabout, it manages to not sacrifice a single beautiful image, it's stunning. Even in a coming of age story, it manages to craft images together to allow the producing of a non-gratuitously sexualised, strong, young, female lead. It's not a film for everyone but it is absolutely one of the best films ever made.
