You won't be disappointed!
Redundant and unnecessary.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
You can find this at cvmc.net - I ordered one and it's an excellent copy. It's format 0 so it will work on most DVD players. It was $39.99 plus $5.00 s/h. It comes with a labeled case and is very professional looking. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the movie. I have been looking for this movie forever and this is the first professional copy I've found that works in U.S. players. I found a couple of people willing to make and send a copy but no one ever came through for me and the quality offered was questionable. I hope this helps everyone who loved this movie as a child and who has been looking for it. This was a great movie and I'm so happy that it's finally available.
I saw this beautiful movie 37 years ago, I was 12 at the time and still living in Mexico, it was still the time where you could see two or even three movies with one ticket, I happened to watch this movie along with " The Games " , I liked it also,I still remember a guy that did not like to run with shoes. I am giving Dirkie a 10 because that is how it felt to me at that young age. I am sure I would not see it or feel it the same way today if I saw it again, but the memory is still there, strong as a big beautiful scar. I am planning to buy this movie for my 9 year old hoping it has the same effect in him that it had in me. I have been trying to find this movie for a long time.
As a boy of 10 I first watched this movie, but due to modern DVD technology I had another opportunity recently. Firstly, I was amazed how quickly the story became prominent, without the use of fancy computer generated scenes, as so often in movies today. A great story by a great storyteller! The only other movie that had such an enduring effect after wards is Steven Spielberg's classic Duel (1971). Having been privileged to visit the Namib many years later just reinforced the harshness of the desert as we flew over the miles of red sand. This is a classic and deserve special recognition. Often we tend to see old movies as just that, however this movie is a precious reminder of the late sixties and a world of escapism, but where a reality check encourages the viewer to regard each day as special.
I'm amazed that this is a real movie. I was almost certain it was a child's hallucination. Or perhaps a real movie made by hippies on lsd.I was somewhat frightened that it was an allegorical dream I was supposed to be applying to my life. I really need to watch this movie again. Do they carry it in video stores? I also thought it was Australian. Does the leading man have an oz sound to him? Also...was there a top hat or a bowler's hat or something? I won't know until I can finally see it again! We should form a club of those disturbed by Dirkie. Dirkie's kids.!
