A classic in the minimalist tradition of Bresson
Don’t go by the fact, it’s an Australian film made by a virtually unknown aboriginal writer-director-cinematographer Warwick Thornton on a shoestring budget with untrained first-time actors. “Samson and Delilah” is a movie Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog or Federico Fellini would have been proud of at the pinnacle of their glory. (And in the true Australian tradition, the next movie by Warwick Thornton may turn out to be a total dud – whatever happened to Stephan Elliott? – but I hope not.)It’s made in the austere style of minimalist emotions pioneered by Bresson in 1950s and 60s. There is no background music, other than a few recordings the two characters listen to on radio or tape; and hardly any dialogues (the two 14-year old aboriginal protagonists don’t exchange a single word throughout the film).
Getting bored? Don’t be. It’s a profoundly touching and satisfying art film, the like of which we have not seen too many in the history of world cinema. It would easily be in my personal top-50 best movies of all times. However, if the best of Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog and Federico Fellini bore you, then please don’t bother.
a visually beautiful, yet painfully straightforward portrait of young Aboriginal Australians
Samson And Delilah directed by Warwick Thornton is a visually beautiful, yet painfully straightforward portrait of young Aboriginal Australians risking their lives in an urbanized society. By avoiding the dialogue Thornton crafts an authentic and emotional film that not only meditates on love that never judges, but also showcases tough reality indigenous Australians have to face in the unfair contemporary world. Thornton makes a statement that just cannot be ignored: the clash between the two ways of living is very difficult to overcome and there’s still no to little justice for those underprivileged. This bleakly authentic view gives the movie its gravitas transforming the story of love into the story of survival. Non-actors Rowan McNamara and Marissa Gibson don’t really perform their roles, but lead the lives of people who have been around them. Their performances happen to be thoroughly authentic in an engrossing manner. Overall, Samson And Delilah is an original, haunting and truthful take on Aboriginal identity that must be seen.
