An aboriginal musician from a remote community in the north east of Australia, Gurrumul has received great critical acclaim for his work while also largely eschewing the media. Blind and speaking minimal English, Gurrumul rarely grants interviews and so this film provides a rare look into the life and culture of a man who very clearly is possessed of a simply massive artistic gift.
The music and voice are striking and, at least as far as demonstrated by the freshly released trailer, Williams' filmmaking matches his subject blow for blow. The footage is gorgeous and the approach to its subject very promising, indeed. Take a look below!
