Anzac Wallace stars as a Māori rebel battling against the destruction of his home, alongside Bruno Lawrence as a Pākehā settler avenging the murder of his wife. A dark and violent “puha” western with a distinctly Kiwi sense of humour, this was the country’s second feature to screen at Cannes and was called “probably the seminal New Zealand film” by filmmaker Gaylene Preston. A 2013 project led by Murphy and cinematographer Graeme Cowley saw the film restored to their original vision. With Wi Kuki Kaa and Merata Mita.
