"At the turn of the century, half-educated, light-skinned Jimmie Blacksmith, his expectations having been raised by a white missionary, aspires to equality in the white man's world. In its first half which culminates in a massacre, this adaptation of Keneally's novel is a complex treatment of the theme of assimilation, becoming more didactic in the second half as Jimmie is hunted by the law. His act of violence is, in effect, an act of terrorism without a clear rationale. The violence is a physical reflection of the premediated psychological violence perpetrated upon Jimmie by white society. The landscape is implicated in the mythification of Koori culture, romanticised and placed outside history in its transcendence of the oppressive crassness and venality of white petit-capitalist society."@en
