Samson and Delilah
2009 · TMDB 6.3
Directed by Warwick Thornton
Samson, a cheeky 15-year-old boy, and Delilah, live in an isolated Aboriginal community in the Central Australian desert. The two teenagers soon discover that life outside the community can be cruel. Lost, unwanted and alone they discover that life isn’t always fair, but love never judges.
Why it matters
Warwick Thornton's camera sits low and still while two teenagers in a remote community sniff petrol, fall in love and walk out of town. Almost wordless, it is one of the great films about young people surviving a place that has been taken from them.
