Production
Buzo was approached to make the film by Alan Burke. "He approached me to do this for what I felt were all the right reasons," said Buzo. "I thought he would do it with style and flair, rather than being pedestrian and naturalistic. But I didn't breathe my sigh of relief with Rooted until I saw the final version." ==Reception==
Reception
The Age's Jason Romney calls it "a peculiar mix of domestic drama, black comedy and social satire" and says "Although too long, Rooted is nonetheless a merciless examination of the social centrifuge that can send a man to the "outer"." ==References==
