A Thousand Times Good
Night (2013)
Directed by Erik Poppe
this film stars Juliette Binoche, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maria Doyle
Kennedy and Lauryn Canny. A war photographer gets injured in a
suicide bombing she is at least partly morally responsible for and
finds her family struggling to deal with her career.
There is a ton of
really interesting and morally ambiguous stuff here which highlights
some of the dilemmas facing war photographers. I am not sure the film
ever completely gets to grips with the subject matter and at times
the resolutions do feel a little too easy, it is not till right at
the end that the protagonist has to in part face up to the realities
of her actions. The film is excellently shot and as always Juliette
Binoche gives an excellent performance.
4/5
