Walkabout (1971) - For One Set Of Values

Another striking sequence by director and cinematographer Nicolas Roeg, the Aboriginal boy (David Gulpilil) hunting, then ever more comfortable with the city-dwelling sister and brother (Jenny Agutter, Lucien John) he's rescued in the Outback, with emphatic intercutting, in Walkabout, 1971.
