This film would be a good fit for the A&F top 100 las it deals with a few "spiritual" themes in a much different context than other films on the list. Here is a spoiler filled review (and surprisingly superficial for Senses of Cinema). This review does have a caveat at the end that I tend to agree with, though I may nuance Roeg's motivation a bit differently as he may be trying to construct an "aboriginal" perspective of this white girl for us.

Much more could be said, but as that would involve many spoilers I am interested in how many others here have seen the film and considered it for the list in the past.

I agree with you. Tragically, I'm ten minutes late to my biology class, but I shall try and help you convince others l8r.

Nicolas Roeg for life.

Just saw it. Concur.

Great editing to compare cultures at various places throughout the film.
