Dingo (1991)

Dingo: Directed by Rolf de Heer. With Colin Friels, Miles Davis, Helen Buday, Joe Petruzzi. Traces the pilgrimage of John Anderson, an average guy with a passion for jazz, from his home in outback Western Australia to the jazz clubs of Paris, to meet his idol, jazz trumpeter Billy Cross.

“I have an old VHS copy of this film and I havenu0026#39;t had a VHS player for more than a decade. Iu0026#39;m not even sure if this ever came out on DVD, Iu0026#39;ve never seen it in a video shop and I have looked through many. This movie is kind of like an Outback Australian Sci-Fi Jazz Road Trip, brought to you by the man who blessed us with Bad Boy Bubby. The opening scene when Miles Davis lands his space ship (commercial airliner?!?!!), in the desert and proceeds to blow fragile rural minds to smithereens with an awesome array of Jazz Fusion is priceless. I pray to the almighty gods of Jazz that they might one day release this fine film in a format befitting cinema as far out as this.”
