Featured review
Sometimes it is better to leave things in the dark - no pun intended. But on the other hand if you are trying to shock people, you could do worse. This does include a lot of nudity and some explicit shots of love making too. I do wonder how this was perceived at the time? I reckon the scandal must have been big - no pun intended.
It is a collection of things. While this claims to be a documentary, it has scenes "recreated". On the other hand it also has issues that might have been tabu back then (and maybe even today) - like aborigines being drunk. It's a weird mixture we have at hand here - with an assembly of short stories of sorts. You may be down (under) for that or not - no pun intended. A curiosity for sure.
