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 their 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
