Description:
Featuring a mesmerizing and fearless performance from David Gulpilil (Walkabout, Rabbit-Proof Fence), THE TRACKER is at once a mystery, an adventure, and a pointed commentary on the atrocities committed against the Aborigines. In 1922, an Aboriginal tracker leads two mounted policeman and a civilian through the Australian Outback on the hunt for a black fugitive who is charged with killing a white woman. The group struggles through extremely rugged terrain inhabited by hostile aborigines, wild animals, and poisonous reptiles. Though treated as a virtual slave by the white men leading the search, it becomes clear that the Tracker has his own agenda. Through massacre and murder the party falls into disarray, stirring up questions of what is black and what is white and who is leading whom.

There are five men in this story, none of whom have names. In the cast list they are called: The Tracker, The Fanatic, The Follower, The Veteran and The Fugitive. This is a brutal story told in a very non-brutal way. The story is told to us through a folk song. We see the actors as they trek across the continent led by the Tracker (David Gulpilil) who follows the trail left by the fugitive although none of the whites can see it. The Tracker walks, the white men ride horses. We understand from ... Read More

I usually prefer to read, but as a tracker of animals and people, this movie spoke to me in a non-literal way. The music, the scenery and the main actor combined to make a piece of moving art, not just a movie. The ending made up for all the cruel things and the tracking was realistic and intense. I loved the way they showed how the tracker was seeing instead of just looking. I will just add that as Bob Brady, another reviewer, liked it that is high praise indeed as I know him to be an exceptional ... Read More

The Tracker (Rolf de Heer, 2002)
Ah, Rolf de Heer, how I adore your movies. You never fail to make my jaw drop, even when I see it coming from a mile away. And you can make anything funny, no matter how horrible, how brutal, the subject matter.
And this is no laughing matter: A tracker (David Gulpilil of Walkabout) has been hired to chase an aborigine charged with the killing of a white woman. With him are The Fanatic (Gary Sweet), the Veteran (Grant Page), and the Follower ... Read More

Somebody needs to speak up in opposition to all the five star reviews this film is getting and I guess it will have to be me. This chase film makes about as little sense as the recent version of "3:10 to Yuma." The posse acts in ways that are downright absurd and that spoils the whole movie. For example, the first time a spear gets thrown at them they shoot back wildly but make no attempt to chase the culprit, who can't be very far away. OK, maybe this could happen. But when the next couple of spear ... Read More

I am a seasoned mantracker with Law Enforcement & SAR. I am always skeptical of movies depicting mantrackers, and how they are mostly "Hollywoodized". However,from the very first frame of this movie it had captured my attention, the way the tracker moved along his line of sign, I knew it was going to be a great movie. It truly is a great movie about a Tracker and how lonely, adventurous and dangerous following a track can be. There is a very deep and meaningful story being told that goes beyond just a ...
