The Flood (DVD)

BRUTAL REVENGE WESTERN IN AUSTRALIA'S RUINED NATURE

The father of an Aboriginal family is called up for service in the Australian army during World War II. When he and many other men are away, corrupt forces in the small community seize the opportunity. Families are torn apart and property is seized. Women and children become slaves to the white landowners. Rape and other abuses become part of the new, terrifying everyday life. However, the perpetrators have not counted on the strength of Jarah, one of the women who decides to take the law into her own hands and exact bloody revenge on the oppressors.Directed by Victoria Wharfe McIntyre, The Flood is an uncompromising and uncompromising film. The story takes its own path, away from the well-trodden paths of the revenge genre. It confronts some very dark chapters in Australia's 20th-century history in a way that reminds us that it was not so long ago. Alexis Lane impresses in the lead role as Jarah. She is backed up by a strong ensemble and beautiful cinematography by Kevin Scott, whose underscored views of Australia's vast landscape contrast with the dark subject matter.
