My Name Is Gulpilil
My Name Is Gulpilil is a 2021 documentary film about the life of celebrated Australian actor David Gulpilil, at the time sick with stage four lung cancer. Synopsis
The film covers Gulpilil's acting career, his life in Murray Bridge, the cancer, alcohol addiction, and his various marriages and relationships. Production
My Name is Gulpilil was directed by Australian filmmaker Molly Reynolds. It was mostly shot in 2017, with the expectation that Gulpilil (who died in November 2021) would not live much longer. The use of Gulpilil's name in the title, potentially problematic in Aboriginal culture after his death, was a deliberate choice by the actor. Reception
