Exclusive Clip From “Samson & Delilah” (An Aboriginal Love Story)
A clip from critically-acclaimed Australian film Samson and Delilah, which I’ve still yet to see; a romantic drama set in a remote community in the Outback. Winner of the Camera d’Or, (award for the Best First Feature) at last year’s Cannes Film Fesitval, directed by Warwick Thornton’s – a film previously profiled on this blog, which you can see HERE.
It’s the story of two Aboriginal teens (played by Rowan McNamara and Marissa Gibson) who begin a relationship and move away from home to live on the fringes in Alice Springs. Reportedly, Samson (McNamara) says one word throughout the entire film, and Delilah (Gibson) is only slightly more talkative, so expect one of those quiet, evocative moody melancholic pieces.
It’s played at numerous international film festivals, but no real distribution yet.
Here’s the trailer if you missed it the first time; and you can find the new clip underneath:
