Had to look into Walkabout, as I saw it decades ago and still find Aboriginal spirituality very intriguing ....Roeg has made some damn fine films and I may catch it again,

I just now watched "Troll Hunter" a quite funny fake doc , in the mode of Blair Witch...... but the Norwegian humor is priceless ...it's billed as horror, yet the trolls look straight out of Sesame Street ..... and overall it's delightfully subtle and dryly funny...... I'm no fan of scary movies, and this is a parody of the genre, rather than a true horror film.
Love the play on Norwegian myths-legends and the subtle humor throughout.

Another similar one is
"Rare Exports" a Finnish film about digging up a buried monster Santa, frozen in a block of ice...... Another wacked fake documentary that defies
description.... Again delightful humor, considerably darker than Troll Hunter, yet the humor is sprinkled throughout and
while at times almost grim, is a twisted fantasy that Hollywood would never attempt.
