WHAT TO WATCH
The Water
Diviner
Where: Now showing in cinemas
Russell Crowe both directs and stars
in this emotionally charged display
of Australian film-making talent.
Inspired by true events, The Water
Diviner follows Crowe’s character
across the globe as he travels to
Turkey in search of his missing
sons who served in World War I.
Visually, you can expect stunning
cinematography that contrasts the
raw brutality of war with scenic
panoramas of iconic Australian
landscapes and insights into the
bustling hive of Istanbul, Turkey.
Incorporating romance and family
dynamics, this is a film that can be
enjoyed and understood regardless
of how familiar you are with the
history of the First World War.
I must admit, I was quite reluctant
to see this film, however, it far
exceeded my expectations and was
110 minutes very well spent! It’s the
perfect way to take your mind off
study and immerse yourself in a great
Australian story.
