Then I watched the DVD of WALKABOUT. The film is, as it has always been, part odyssey film, part tone poem, part stinging comment on encroaching civilization. It's always been a kind of hypnotic film, and this time around for me was no different.
There's a nice new transfer that I'll be eager to see what it looks like on the Blu-ray version. Even here, it looks pretty nice overall, and I enjoyed revisiting it.
