Synopsis: Utu (1983)

Synopis: Te Wheke (Anzac Wallace), a Maori tribesman serving in the British Army, returns home to find his village and family destroyed in a senseless raid by English settlers. He vows "Utu" - the ritual revenge demanded by his culture. One of New Zealand's first critical and commercial successes, UTU was originally released in a truncated version that was devoid of a few battle scenes deemed too violent by censors. Kino on Video has restored these scenes, about 14 minutes of footage, adding significant impact to an already powerful film.

   This movie gives a great sense of the early conflict between the expanding European world and the native cultures swallowed up by it. Utu ("revenge" in Maori) is pretty accurate culturally... even shows a Maori warrior using the Taiaha (a weapon).
