Ten Canoes4

Ten Canoes

Set a thousand years ago in Australia’s Northern Territory, director Rolf de Heer’s Ten Canoes is the first feature shot entirely in Aboriginal languages. While on a tribal goose egg gathering trip, Old Minygululu (Peter Minygululu) learns his unmarried younger brother Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil) desires the youngest of his three wives. In order to “help him live the proper way”, Minygululu relates a fable about the perils of adulterous desire.
