“Ten Canoes”
Handled differently, the film could’ve been saddled with the ick factor of siblings chasing after the same young woman. But the way director Rolf de Heer presents it, it is a parable that distinguishes between right and wrong, in an entertaining and non-judgmental way. Cinematographer Ian Jones is to be commended for his amazing work. He frames the shots in a superb fashion and showcases the raw beauty of the land–and the people–that time has forgotten.
