Robson C Martin é um fotógrafo e é cego desde criança. Devido a sua deficiência, ele passou a cobrar que todos a sua volta falem a verdade para ele. Celia é a mulher que organiza a vida de Martin, ao mesmo tempo que desenvolveu uma fixação pelo fotógrafo. É quando surge Andy, um lavador de pratos, que torna-se grande amigo de Martin. A essência da vida de Martin é a verdade. É o que ele busca e cobra de todos ao seu redor. Suas fotos são a prova disso, pois ele registra a descrição que uma pessoa fez da foto, para verificar mais tarde. Esta obsessão pela verdade acabou lhe custando o amor da sua mãe, pois ele acreditava que ela mentia para ele nas suas descrições e que ela não o aceitava. E aí chegamos a melhor personagem do filme: Celia. Ela é uma espécie de governanta de Martin: faz compras, limpa a casa, organiza as contas. Porém ela desenvolveu uma fixação por ele e quando ele não corresponde ao seu amor ou carinho, ela se vinga dele colocando obstáculos pelo caminho que ele faz na sua casa. No meio dessa relação meio doentia, Andy cai de para-quedas. Primeiro, ele se surpreende com Martin e, dessa admiração, surge uma amizade sincera. Porém Celia não aceita esse novo amigo e decide acabar com essa amizade, iniciando um caso amoroso com Andy. É um filme que trata de fixações: sejam amorosas como a de Celia, que chega à psicopatia, seja a de Martin, que coloca a verdade como valor absoluto. Weaving e Crowe estão muito bem, mas é Genevieve Picot que se destaca como Celia. Uma trama que passeia pelo drama, comédia e chega a ter um pouco de thriller. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Ravenswood R Highly entertaining and thought provoking. Not flashy in terms of action or fancy camera moves and technical filmic frippery. Just a great movie with an actual story that matters to you while you watch it. The characterizations are complex enough to be inscrutable at times. In other words, it is believable, and therefore capable of making your mind move in directions it otherwise might not have. Great movie, very engaging and enjoyable. Unique and timeless with universal human themes presented in an original and often fun "on screen" world. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review andrey k A small but interesting Australian production depicting the plight of a blind man and his dilemma of whether he can trust anybody in his world where trust is of foremost importance, since the world he inhabits is dark and depends on other people's eyes. It is simple and effective with the curious early role by Russel Crowe and the soon to be agent Smith Hugo Weaving. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hugo Weaving plays a blind man who hires Russell Crowe to be a human audio description track. His super creepy housekeeping stalker becomes jealous at the growing friendship between the two men and sets out to break the pair up. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review kevin w Highly improbable bit about a blind guy who takes pictures and then asks people to describe what's on the film so as a way to check on what really happened to him. Seems as if the poor bloke has trust issues and therein the major thrust of the piece: "who can you trust?" Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe endeavor mightily to add some meat to this speculative presentation but it is Geneviève Picot as the maid, who is outside of the question, who could give a fuck, who is really the only real person in this head scratcher, and the only one who manages to keep your attention. Watch it to see her. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bizarre, well acted small film about a blind photographer who takes photographs as "proof" that the world really is as others describe it to him. This was quite good, a slice-of-life style movie as we never really get to know any of the characters that well with backgrounds etc. It's Australian and super fun to see a young Russell Crowe and Hugo Weaving together. Weaving plays Martin who has a love-hate relationship with Celia his housekeeper, she really creeped me out, always watching him, toying with him, rearranging the furniture. Russell Crowe is young, very cute and does a fantastic job as Martin's mate also getting played by the obsessed housekeeper so that she can have Martin all to herself. I liked how their friendship developed over time -the bit at the drive-in is hilarious. Made me "see" being blind in a whole new light. What is real? Clever movie that I'll be thinking about for a while. 6/20/14 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
