The Proposition gave Delhomme the exterior-intensive shoot he sought, but there were many things about the outback that elevated the experience out of the realm of the ordinary. “We had meetings with an Aboriginal adviser about how to behave there, how to respect their spirits, their gods,” he recalls. “When you go there, you don’t take this as a joke.” On the first day, the adviser had the cast and crew spread dust from the ground on their faces and bodies. “She said it was for protection from the spirits, ‘because you all smell like strangers,’” says Delhomme. “You can’t light a film like that the way you would light any picture. Films are normally made where everyone is comfortable, but on this film we had nothing. You have to respect people more; you can’t push your crew the same way. Your body is more fragile, and you have to deal with that. We were worried about survival on some days. Every day was a fantastic day. It was making a film and a kind of spiritual experience.”
