i couple excerpts from reviews that i think well expressed. <<Thus is the beginning of a journey into a reality that Western Civilization has all but forgotten . This is the "The Dreamtime" a separate but equally valid stream of consciousness existing alongside our waking world. David is soon to discover that his dreams are inexplicably connected to this archaic world and he is about to play an important role in either the continuation or destruction of both worlds. In my estimation this is without question director Peter Weirs' signature film. He has captured on film something I wouldn't have thought possible, giving us a brief but illuminating firsthand glimpse into the very heart of aboriginal shamanism. The conversation concerning the 'nature of dreams' between David, Chris and Charlie is one of the most fascinating and mesmerizing mystical moments in cinematic history. >> <<It also forcefully reminds us that there is more than one culture in the world, and that we assume we are superior simply by virtue of our technology and science, at our own peril.>> <<This is a thinking-person's film. It is slow moving but suspenseful and the plot is sometimes complicated but never confusing. Well worth adding to your video collection if you want something excitingly different and intellectually stimulating.>> and lastly, this fellow, for whom the movie has never left him. <<Haunting, beautiful, stunning, February 4, 2002 By Robin Currier - See all my reviews I first saw this movie 25 years ago in a theater, and a few times since on late-night TV. This movie is so beautiful, so evocative that it has haunted me for 25 years! I still recall images and sounds from it, even though it's been years since I've seen it. I'm still unable to express in words the power of this movie. It's as if the repetitive images of water and destruction somehow hit on a level of your subconscious so deep that you can only feel the contact but can't verbalize it. At least that's how it affects me! Every time I see this movie, I feel stupified, stunned, blown away, a hairs-breadth away from recognizing something vitally important. I purchased this new DVD release of it, and look forward very much to viewing it with its new transfer, since the last few times I've seen it the print has been very worn. ??
