Storyline
After the Battle of Gallipoli, in 1919, an Australian farmer, Connor (Russell Crowe), travels to Turkey to find his 3 missing sons. While staying at a hotel in Istanbul, he meets Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), the hotel manager. And tries to find a way to Gallipoli.
User Reviews
The
preview did not hint at the complex and gripping tale in store for us,
beyond that of a father seeking his sons' fate on the battlefields of
Gallipoli. Crowe clearly sought to make a powerful statement about war
(my wife was moved to tears during the battlefield scenes) but did not
overdo it at the expense of an engaging plot. We left the cinema with a
new insight to the Gallipoli story, that being the cost to the Turkish
people.
Crowe was very convincing in his role of the grieving, relentless father. Fantastic support role by Yilmaz Ergodan and, although brief, Ryan Corr was very moving.
Don't wait for this to come to DVD, it is best appreciated on the big screen.
