Product description
Italy Edition, PAL/Region 0 DVD: Sound: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), Italian ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), BONUS MATERIAL: Biographies, Featurette, Photo Gallery, Trailer(s), Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: None This is this De-Heer film with stars such as David Gulpilil in the role of the track reader (tracker), known from Rabbit-Proof Fence or Walkabout, as well as Gary Sweet in the role of fanatic (known from "The Flying Doctors and a Flood of Films and Series". It is not an easy food because it tells on the one hand unvarnished how inhumane the Australian order keepers have jumped with the Aboriginals in the past. And on the other hand, because the narrative method needs getting used to is different. Instead of implementing violent scenes filmerically, these scenes are played in the form of paintings by artist Peter Coad. And to emphasize the film's "political" message even more, the critical songs of Aboriginal star Archie Roach dominate the soundtrack. In addition to all the political explosives, the film is also a brilliant drama in which the characters are portrayed minutiously, and whose storyline takes a rather unexpected course. A recommended film that deserves to be seen more than once. Screening / forgive in: Australian Film Institute, Film Critics Circle of Australia Prizes, ...The Tracker ( )

Reviewed in Germany on 16 April 2013Dieser Film (2002) handelt von einem Aborigine (australischem Ureinwohner), der als Spurensucher fuer und mit zwei weissen Polizisten und einem Veteranen einen anderen Aborigine durch das "Outback" verfolgt, der eine weisse Frau umgebracht haben soll. Die Handlung spielt im Jahr 1922.
Der Film ist spannend und ruhig (fast meditativ) zugleich, kommt mit ganz wenig Worten aus, die aber sehr tiefgehend sind. Der Film wird getragen von der Musik, gesungen von dem bekannten aboriginal Saenger Archie Roach. Der Film beleuchtet ein dunkles Kapitel der australischen Geschichte, spricht die Grausamkeiten an , zeigt sie aber in gemalten Bildern, was die Ungeheuerlichkeiten auf subtile Art und Weise noch hervorhebt. Ureinwohner waren unuebertroffen in der Spurenfindung, was der Film auch eindruecklich zeigt. So genau wie die Spurenfinder (die "Tracker") waren, muss man auch den Film aufmerksam verfolgen, damit man die subtilen Hinweise voll schaetzen kann.
Die Hauptrolle wird von David Gulpilil als dem "Tracker" hervorragend gespielt. Obwohl er der Geknechtete ist, ist er der Ueberlegene, und die Macht der Weissen laesst ihn unberuehrt.
Der Regisseur und Drehbuchautor ist Rolf de Heer (1951), der auch Preise fuer seinen Film "10 canoes" (2006) bekam - auch ein Film mit und ueber Aborigines - .Die Qualitaet seiner Filme sind auf der Ebene von Filmen wie "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1975) von Peter Weir. Sie koennen sich an ArtHouse Kultfilmen messen.
Nicht verwechseln darf man den Film von Rolf de Heer mit anderen Filmen, die den selben Titel tragen: "Tracker"!
Schade ist an dieser von Amazon gelieferten Fassung, dass sie von einer italienischen Firma gemacht wurde, d.h. die Untertitel sind nur auf italienisch, nicht auf deutsch. Es gibt auch die englische Originalfassung, aber die Texte der Lieder haben keine englischen oder deutschen Untertitel . Wenn man englisch kann, sollte man sich nicht von den fehlenden deutschen Untertiteln abhalten lassen. Der Film ist gut verstaendlich auf englisch und die Bildsprache ist ueberwaeltigend schoen und eindringlich, genauso wie die Musik und der Inhalt des Films.

Reviewed in Germany on 27 January 2017Der Film behandelt die australische postkoloniale Geschichte und ist sehr empfehlenswert. Ich würde ihn auch Lehrern empfehlen, die ihn im Englisch Unterricht zeigen können.

Quand même dommage de lire (import anglais) et d'avoir en audio, italien seulement, ça diminue vraiment le plaisir à profiter de ce film
E. YanevaReviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 20125.0 out of 5 stars Great movie
I love this movie, the only thing that I didn't expect was the Italian language DVD, good it has English audio but the En subtitles are only for hearing impaired and that's a little annoying.
In general about the movie-love the music, the pictures, the director has done a great job with composition and expressing the violent scenes in a mild manner. No wonder had won so many awards.
Stephen A. HainesReviewed in Canada on 24 March 20075.0 out of 5 stars There are many trails to justice
When Philip Noyce directed "Rabbit-proof Fence" - a film about Aborigine children escaping white captivity - he hired David Gulpilil in the role of the "black tracker". With forty thousand years of experience in the Australian bush under their belts [sic?], the Aborigines are trackers without peer. The European invaders quickly learned to use them in tracing missing children, criminals and other tasks. In the "Special Features" of "Rabbit-proof Fence", Noyce comments on his sudden awareness that Gulpilil virtually redefined the role. With no lines - none are needed - David makes clear that an Aborigine would find the children. But he "misses" them in passing, glancing over his shoulder to where they were hiding in the scrub. He presumed the real tracker sent after them had done something similar. In this film, David Gulpilil is the lead role, and clearly defines it in his own way. Even writer-director de Heer is unlikely have the savvy to devise a script to achieve what Gulpilil accomplishes here.
The story is of three whites, two of whom are policemen, to chase down an Aborigine murder suspect. The leader, a fanatic racist, is no exaggeration as Australian history has shown. The young policeman is an eager innocent, but flexible. To him it's part of a new job. The third white is a "squatter", conscripted to fill out the group. As "The Tracker", Gulpilil must lead them over a sparse landscape with few clues to the suspect's passage. The trail is scanty, the man elusive, and the whites are totally dependent on Gulpilil's abilities. In one scene, as the group arrives at the edge of a stony plain, the young policeman objects that there's no trail to follow. The expanse of pebbles is extensive and no sign of human passage can be made out. Gulpilil wearily points out the clues to the young man, who retires abashed as The Tracker smiles slyly. The hunt continues.
White-Aborigine relations are a sorry record, as this film dramatically portrays. Gulpilil is scorned and badgered, even by the men who so sorely need his skills. The hunters encounter a group of Aborigines, and the head policeman banters and abuses them mercilessly. Although Gulpilil warns that the Aborigines not only cannot speak English, even he doesn't understand their "different language, Boss". Resentful and frustrated, the officer shoots each member of the group. Holding up his pistol, he declares it to be "the language of this country". The hunt continues.
Director de Heer takes full advantage of the vast beauty of the Australian bush with compelling scenes. His best talents, however, come to light with the many close-ups of the tracker and white pursuers. David's expression at the killing of his fellow Aborigines is enigmatic, and he remains stoic throughout the film - until the end. Even when the leader threatens Gulpilil with taking "your own ears back with me" if they don't catch the suspect. He shackles Gulpilil who must now carry a length of chains while finding the trail. As the group closes with the fugitive, the tension builds under de Heer's skilful touch.
De Heer adds some interesting nuances to this film. There are scenes introduced or portrayed by Aborigine-style paintings. The opening is one such, as are the killings of the Aborigine group and others. Additionally, de Heer uses Archie Roach, one of Australia's "stolen generation" to provide the background music - not quite Aborigine and not quite European. The effect adds fresh levels of intensity to an already gripping story. And the fugitive? De Heer's inventive story concludes with a surprising twist, one that North Americans may find daunting to comprehend. All the more reason to see this film for its revelations.
