7.0In New Zealand in the 1860s the native Māori people fought the British colonials to keep the land guaranteed to them by treaty. The warrior Te Wheke fights for the British until betrayal leads him to seek utu (revenge). The settler Williamson in turn seeks revenge after Te Wheke attacks his homestead. Meanwhile Wiremu, an officer for the British, seems to think that resistance is futile.

Utu est un film néo-zélandais réalisé par Geoff Murphy, sorti en 1983. Il est présenté hors compétition au Festival de Cannes 1983 (c'est d'ailleurs le premier film néo-zélandais en sélection au Festival de Cannes). Il ressort en 2017 dans une version restaurée et remontée. Le film s'inspire de la vie de Te Kooti, un chef maori s'étant révolté contre les colonisateurs britanniques.
