Walkabout (1970 Nic Roeg & ph)

Written by Edward Bond, based on Donald Payne's 1959 novel 'The Children', published under the pseudonym of James Vance Marshall. The kid (Luc Roeg) actually seems the more practical of the two. Sensational combination of photography (often using a zoom lens, but not annoyingly) and Tony Gibbs' editing, with added attraction of fabulous, lush John Barry score.

Jenny Agutter (17), David Gulpilil, John Meillon.

How can you write a book about Nic Roeg ('Fragile Geometry' by Lanza) and not mention Tony Gibbs?
