Samson and Delilah - (Tue 5 July, 6.30pm, Rich Mix, Bethnal Green Road E1)
(Australia 2009. Dir: Warwick Thornton. English and Aboriginal languages with English subtitles. 101 min. "Cert 15.")
Hailed as one of the finest films in Australia’s history, Samson and Delilah won the Camera d’Or at Cannes, the Asia Pacific
Award for Best Feature Film and swept the board at the Australian Film Institute Awards.
Tender, unflinching and amazingly acted, the drama follows two Aboriginal teens, growing up in an isolated Aboriginal community in the Central Australian desert, who turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival.
