FESTIVAL FILM: BLUEBACK
November 21, 2022

Director Robert Connolly has made a film for our times with his adaptation of
Tim Winton’s classic novel Blueback.
It’s a story of a peaceful oceanic haven facing destruction by unchecked
commercial development and by over-fishing of the fragile marine environment.
The film is memorable for its stunning shots of the beautiful West Australian
coastline, mainly filmed around Bremer Bay on the south coast and also with
inspiring underwater vision of Ningaloo Reef, by cinematographers Andrew Commis
and Rick Rifici.
Mia Wasikowska stars as Abby, a marine biologist, who hurries home to Longboat
Bay after her mother has a stroke.
In flashbacks we see young Abby (Ilsa Fogg), free-diving with her mother Dora
(Radha Mitchell) on the reef near their home and working together in theiri
productive vegetable garden.
They share a love of the natural world and Dora campaigns to try to protect it
from the commercial groups who want to exploit the area with a new housing
development.
“You and your mum think you can stop this, doncha,” mocks one of the developers.
“The whole reef will soon be gone.” – “We’ll see about that!” retorts Dora.
When she introduces Abbey to a giant groper which has made its home on their
reef, the little girl’s initial shock changes to delight as the huge creature
gets used to their presence. Abbey names him Blueback and dives down to meet him
whenever she can, feeding him with scraps of abalone.
She becomes so enthralled with the underwater life that she determines to become
a marine biologist. It’s a happy choice but her international work takes her far
away from her mother and the natural life she loves at Longboat Bay.
This is a simple story, centred around Winton’s familiar theme of conservation
and protection of the environment.
Ilsa Fogg is a standout as young Abby but it is a pity that such fine actors as
Wasikowska and Eric Bana (as the wisecracking fisherman Mad Macka) were not
given more opportunities to display their talents.
The maritime theme was underlined in the score by talented West Australian
musician Nigel Westlake, known internationally as a composer for the screen,
whose impressive new trumpet symphony premiered at the Perth Concert Hall this
month.
Blueback is currently showing as part of the Perth Festival’s Lotterywest film
season at UWA’s Somerville Auditorium, and runs until Sunday, November 27.

ONE THOUGHT ON “FESTIVAL FILM: BLUEBACK”

I wanted to love this film, but found it a bit predictable and without any
real depth to the characters. There were some gorgeous scenes across bays
and underwater, but I felt a bit disappointed at the end of the movie.
Robert Connolly has made some great films, but I don’t think this was as
powerful as it could have been. 3 *** from me.
