Outstanding, 14 November 2001
8/10
Author: leask81 from adelaide, australia

Near-brilliant adaptation of Archie Weller's novel "Day of the Dog", BLACKFELLAS is an incisive examination of the effects of white settlement and white law on the Aboriginal culture after 40,000 years of strong belief. I urge everyone to see this, as well as the 2001 AFI-nominated YOLNGU BOY, and the upcoming adaptation of Phillip Gwynne's novel DEADLY, UNNA?. Other films of interest include TUDAWALI, JEDDA, DEAD HEART, THE NAKED COUNTRY, etc... Rating: 87/100.
