Blackfellas (1988)

Directed by: James Ricketson

Starring: John Moore, David ngoombujarra, Jaylene Riley, John Hargreaves, and Ernie Dingo

For fans of: Unapologetically Aussie cinema.

Given the service’s ability to key audiences into films they may have otherwise avoided, I’m a little disappointed by the lack of Australian titles on offer here. If I counted correctly, there are only three: quirky comedy The Rage in Placid Lake (2003), with Ben Lee and Rose Byrne; The Magician (2005), a low-budget mockumentary about a hired killer; and Blackfellas: an award-winning portrayal of Aboriginal brotherhood, in the face of mounting societal pressures.
