Released in 1971, Walkabout was hailed as a masterpiece

Is “Walkabout” only about what it seems to be about? Is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers? That’s what the film’s surface seems to suggest, but I think it’s also about something deeper and more elusive: The mystery of communication. It ends with lives that are destroyed, in one way or another, because two people could not invent a way to make their needs and dreams clear.
