Curiosidades
The Hon Justice Michael Kirby AC, CMG said that this film ''is a reminder to us of the dangers of formalism and blindness to prejudice that can be inherent in our work unless we are on guard. Although there have been great improvements in the courts of our country since the proceedings portrayed in Black and White, we the judicial officers of Australia today should watch the film to reinforce our commitment to the avoidance of errors of the kind that the film chronicles."

More of a near miss than a resounding success

A half-caste aborigine in 1950s Australia is sentenced to death on little more than racist supposition over the rape and murder of a young girl. Penniless and inexperienced good-guy lawyers, Robert Carlyle and Kerry Fox, go up against the system to save the man's neck from the gallows. David Ngoombujarra, as the half-caste, turns in a moving performance, the story has sufficient emotional pace, legal twists and unusual setting, yet for some reason manages to peter down like a wet squib. The climax doesn't seem to do the rest of the film justice, and the reminder that it is based on true events comes too late (at the very end of the credits) to have the proper impact. Black and White is an interesting film, but more of a near miss than a resounding success.
