Bit slow and dated but beautiful
This was on SBS TV recently in Australia and is still listed on SBS on Demand http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/369526339639/dingo as of Feb 2015
I'm a country boy, although growing up in the South-West of Western Australia is nowhere near as remote as the countryside shown in the movie.
Still, I could relate to that music, in that setting, as the perfect eerie accompaniment to the land's empty indifference.
The reviewers who have said it is unrealistic because of the lack of Aboriginal characters are wrong - I counted at least four in the background of the 1969 scene - look for the pink shirt and the guy in the blue tank-top behind the kids at the airport.
The Australian characters are absolutely spot-on, not the caricatures of Croc Dundee.
