Australian
film was a big mystery to me, aside ”Mad Max” trilogy, as well as the culture
and the destiny of the local indigenous inhabitants, the Aborigines. This was
all until I watched ”Rabbit-proof fence”.
Shot
almost entirely with self taught local actors, covering the wastelands of
Eastern Australia, ”Rabbit-proof fence” is just one huge triumph after another.
Triumph
of shedding a light on a monstrous demographic politics of the Caucasian
Australians towards those who come from mixed marriages that lasted up until
the 1970s (!!!)
Triumph
of a magnificent photography, wide angle shots and lenses and overall
directing.
Triumph
of development of characters who literally suck you in their stories and make
you cheer for them to succeed in getting away from the chasers from hell.
Triumph
of Kenneth ”Adolph” Branagh as the ultimate villain which you desire to
strangle with your own hands after only several minutes on the silver screen.
”Rabbit-proof
fence” is one underrated and obscure masterpiece, in line with ”Schindler’s
list” when it comes to depicting Nazi-methods all over the world.
