Samson & Delilah, Australia’s foreign-language entry for the 82nd Academy Awards, tells the story of two children growing up in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia and falling in love for the first time. The film, directed by Warwick Thornton, was a hit at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Caméra d'Or for first time filmmaking. Larry talks with Warwick, who is Aboriginal himself, about Samson & Delilah and the challenges of bringing his culture to the screen.
