Genre: Biographical Drama
Directed by: Scott Hicks
Starring: Geoffrey Rush, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Noah Taylor
Running time: 105 minutes
This Australian film is based on the true story of David Helfgott, a piano prodigy who suffered a mental breakdown while studying music in a reputed school and then spent years in an institution.
This is a brilliant film. Geoffrey Rush is absolutely awesome as the older David Helfgott. He makes you forget that there is an actual actor at work here, so you fully believe in the character. The rest of the cast is also to be praised, for that matter. And the filmmakers manage to tell a compelling story without become overly sentimental and clichéd. Kudos.
