Meer oor hierdie fliek

What's better than one Robin Williams? How about five of him? Williams, whose on-screen transformations include the redoubtable Mrs. Doubtfire and the always-young Peter Pan of Hook, turns chameleon again in this fanciful look at human history and longing from writer/director Bill Forsyth (Local Hero, Housekeeping). In five distinct yet cleverly interlocked roles, Williams is a cave dweller, a Roman slave, a medieval wayfarer, a Portuguese nobleman shipwrecked in Africa and a modern Manhattanite whose home life has hit the rocks. Each character reaches for survival, love, belonging -- for all the things that made humankind draw together in the first place. Each is a human being faced with an unforgettable and universal challenge: Being Human.

I really like this film. Please ignore Play's description Robin Williams isn't in this!! Don't know what film they have described but this film is a fictionalised, moving account of a woman in pains discovery of how to find meaning and heal whilst living through the ripples caused by (true life) political upheaval. Very moving and powerful with great performances. One of my favourite films. 👌

Good
