The Tracker (Umbrella Entertainment)

[LordCrumb]

Release Date: May 2nd 2018

Not to be confused with 'Tracker (2011)'

The Australian outback, 1922.... four men relentlessly track a fugitive, an aboriginal man accused of murdering a white woman. In charge of the expedition is The Fanatic (Gary Sweet), calculating and complex. The Follower (Damon Gameau) is new to the frontier, a greenhorn. The Veteran (Grant Page) is along for the ride, placing thoughts before action. But all three white men are dependant on the mysterious figure of the black Tracker (David Gulpilil).

When an interrogation of a small group of indigenous people turns into a massacre, paranoia sets in and the question becomes not will the fugitive be caught, but what is black and what is white... and who is leading whom?

This little bugger slipped in well under my radar

Got this yesterday in a package with some other discs from Umbrella. I've seen a couple of de Heer's films before (Incident at Raven's Gate and Dingo), both of which I found fascinating. This adds to the my impression that de Heer should as well known as Weir, Beresford, Duigan, and Miller.
