After making his stunning debut in Nicholas Roeg's unforgettable Australian set drama Walkabout as a teenager, Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil has become a national treasure, appearing in some of the countries most noteworthy films along his incredible career. Key roles in the likes of Storm Boy, Crocodile Dundee, Rabbit Proof Fence, The Tracker, The Proposition and Charlie's Country have ensured that there aren't many more iconic figures in the local industry than the award winning actor, who now sadly aged into his 60's faces an imminent passing at the hands of lung cancer, a fight that is here documented in Molly Reynolds raw and uncompromising documentary My Name is Gulpilil. Produced by one of Gulpilil's closes friends, director Rolf de Heer, My Name was filmed over the span of four years as Reynolds joins Gulpilil and care giver Mary in a warts and all examination of Gulpilil's story as told by the man himself, there are no talking heads here, this is Gulpilil's story and he wants to tell it in his own unique way, that makes for an at times heartwarming and other times unfocussed viewing. For a life so well-lived and eccentric, arriving from the bush into the movies and then alongside the Queen for dinner, Gulpilil's life is one that wouldn't be able to be conjured up by even the wildest of imaginations but its a shame that Reynolds wasn't able to keep her exploration of the man more focused, as the film frequently veers from subject matters without much care or consideration, feeling like a film that would've benefited greatly from following a more traditional approach for a very un-traditional person. A key for the film is Gulpilil's endless charm and charisma, whilst he is here a frail and often forlorn figure, there's still a passionate soul underneath his withered exterior and he is unafraid to confront the ghosts of his past that includes battles with domestic violence and drug/alcohol abuse and hearing him talk openly about these instances in his life as well as his passion for his culture and craft makes for fascinating viewing around a once in a lifetime human. While it appears as though the inevitable is approaching faster than Gulpilil or we'd care to admit, there's little doubt that when the sun sets on the life of one of cinema's great icons, there's a legacy here that will live long into the future, a career that has entered into many minds and hearts and inspired countless others to follow in the footsteps of a pioneer who paved his own path. Final Say - A documentary that can frustrate with its aimless nature but enchant with its honest depiction of a living legend, My Name is Gulpilil is a fitting enough swansong for an Australian actor that will go down as one of the most important figures in the industries history. 3 birthday cakes out of 5.

A born performer in the truest sense. Gulpilil understood what it was to perform in his own, traditional dance as naturally as he did through the technologically sophisticated medium of cinema. That universal thing that is storytelling must have a rather select group of artful storytellers that can tap into the essence of performing whatever the media/platform. We get to see the traditional dance, stage work, and of course the film acting of Gulpilil in this gentle doco. He's led something of a rockstar's life, it would seem. But the way he speaks of his life today, it is as if he's still riding that giant wave - always agile in thought & understanding, if not in body. It's a handful of lightning in a bottle, this doco, from a man whose face has already illuminated so many cinema screens across the country and the decades, as well as internationally.

Such a beautiful documentary!! A true and a rare Aussie legendary Artist and an amazing talent. Like he said in the documentary, he doesn't have to "act" in front of the camera, he just have to me himself, just be natural. Fantastic selection of clip collections from Tracker, Rabbit Proof Fence, Charlie's Country, Walkabout, Goldstone(especially the scene where he takes Jay through the gorge in the canoe while singing in his beautiful voice, it just makes the cry every single time), Satellite Boy, Storm Boy..etc., He's an Actor, Singer, Dancer and a Painter. He's Gulpilil, the Kingfisher.
