Product Description

Samson and Delilahs world is small--an isolated community in the Central Australian desert. When tragedy strikes they turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival. Lost, unwanted and alone they discover that life isn t always fair, but love never judges. A winner of numerous international awards, Samson and Delilah marks the emergence of a major new talent in writer/ director Warwick Thornton. Offering a rare insight into the issues confronting the youth of a lost generation of Aborigines, it has already been hailed by critics as the one of the greatest films ever to come out of Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly beautiful film 29 May 2010
By Dr. Dc Walsh
Format:DVD
I have pre-ordered the DVD of this having seen it at my local independent film house a few weeks ago. This is a truelly amazing film that will stick in your head for a long time and I think will be one of those that you want to take off the shelf and watch once a year.
It takes you right to the edge, and just when you are asking yourself how anyone could have wanted to make a movie so singularly depressing... it lifts you up and takes you to a place that only the best of the best can.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing insight of the aboriginal world! 24 Sep 2010
By daisy
Format:DVD
This film is by far the most informative yet soul searching film I have ever seen. It gave me an understanding of the aboriginal culture that nothing else could have done, not even a trip to the australian outback. Few words spoken meant far deeper empathy. A truly magnificent film. Well worth watching!

5.0 out of 5 stars And this is Australia! 25 Feb 2012
By Mr. J. Gardner
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A gut wrenching, heart warming story of love, perfectly directed and subtly acted by two first time fourteen year olds! This is the kind of film I will always love; low budget, understated, perfectly pitched. Though simple, it opens up a whole world that few in the west are familiar with; the plight of modern day Australian Aboriginal communities. Having been to outback Australia, I know full well the horror of what life is like for many living out there, and this film is a must watch for anyone with even the slightest interest in Australia (If you watch Neighbours, watching this!!!! You will see a different side to the country you thought you liked the look of) Very simple, this is a love story, following the interest a boy has for a girl and where the relationship takes them. It is tough viewing (not graphically; no sex or violence) but emotionally. I was in tears by the end. And that (in my possibly convoluted mind) makes it a great film. Five stars!
