Once every month Huis De Pinto collaborates with a treasured Amsterdam film curator, to transform our beautiful historic library into a cosy cinema for independent and experimental films with a socially relevant theme.
WALKABOUT (director's cut)
Walkabout, directed by Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, Performance, The Man Who Fell to Earth), is an absolute cult-classic about two British children who are rescued in the Australian outback by a young aborigine. It’s a cautionary tale, in which the limitations of modern civilization become painfully clear when the two children cannot survive in the wilderness without the aborigine's assistance.
It is an ageless film, hypnotic and open to several compelling levels of interpretation. A one-of-a-kind film about the cultural clash between nature and civilization. Through exquisite cinematography and a story of subtle human complexity, this is a film that resonates on many thematic and artistic levels.
The movie (100 min.) is in English, with no subtitles.
