| Summary |
"I'm an actor, I'm a dancer, I'm a singer and also, a painter. This film is about me. This is my story of my story." David Gulpilil is an iconic figure of Australian cinema and has been for fifty years. His mesmerizing, electrifying presence has leapt off the big screen and changed Australian screen representation forever. Early in 2017, Gulpilil was diagnosed with lung cancer. His doctors estimated six months for him but David, being David, was always likely to defy the odds. And he continues to do so with probably his last great work, My Name is Gulpilil. |
