Saw Ten Canoes today and must add my two bob's worth to the other positive comments.

Slow paced and beautifully filmed this is a must see, not only for the tale but to delve into a culture and way of thinking and life that is very different to our norm and one that is fast disappearing.

David Gulpilil's narrative is informative and at times very amusing as the film flits from the past to distant past relaying a simple tale of morality but one that also introduces the aboriginal culture and laws to the viewer. 

For anyone who has or is thinking about seeing Ten Canoes, I can heartily recommend watching the behind the scenes documentary The Balanda and the Bark Canoes, this film offers terrific background info and an insight that really adds to the overall film experience.

Cheers Trev.
