How good is Hugo Weaving? The great Australian actor delivers a fascinating performance as a renowned war photographer in this powerful and poetic film that recently premiered at the Sydney Film Festival.
Full reviewA war photographer (Hugo Weaving) and a refugee (newcomer Andrew Luri) discover a photograph that threatens to destroy them both.
"Daniel Fisher (Weaving) returns home, and despite his partner's protests, prepares for his next dangerous overseas assignment. At the same time, he is preparing for an upcoming retrospective exhibition of his work from the world's war zones. South Sudanese refugee, Sebastian Aman (Luri) has built a life in Australia, living happily with his wife and young child. When he learns that Daniel's exhibition may display photographs of a massacre in Sebastian's village 15 years earlier, he finds Daniel and appeals to him to exclude those photographs. An unlikely friendship develops between the two men, but it is severely tested when Daniel makes a shocking discovery." (Sydney Film Festival)
