90Think of an Anthony Mann Western made by an experimental film director and you get an indication of the challenging components of The Tracker, the story of a manhunt that is politically sensitive because of its depiction of atrocities perpetrated on aboriginals by a fanatical white cop.
-
Has the punch of a good Western with a clean and direct script plus an adventurous use of songs and folk paintings.
-
60The film's bleakly inevitable ending packs a wallop and its hauntingly desolate images linger long after the story is told.
