THE WAY BACK - OUR REVIEW

| THE WAY BACK |
Journey into human
psychology in the background of the tragedy of the Gulag. Peter Weir directs
Only a director from
patronizing pat for all mankind such as Peter Weir could succeed. Making The
Way Back issues using mammoth not exactly original - the struggle against
nature and humanity, despite staying the hell of the Gulag - without the
blockbuster budget and still obtain a good movie and a credible collective
fresco.
How he succeeded Mr. Weir?
Based on the novel by Slavomir Rawicz, between us and liberty (edited by
Corbaccio) - based on real events - and telling the journey to the freedom of
seven escaped from a Siberian Gulag, headed by the official Polish Janusz (Jim
Sturgess). Seven thousand kilometers for survival are the perfect material to
bring out the complexity of human nature in its essence, the privileged object
of the work of Australian director. Hardship, fatigue, hunger, learns to invest
in the group after the isolation of prison, where the challenge for survival is
individual and not collective. What saved this piece of humanity, something
could still save it? Altruism, the desire for freedom, the power of the pack
and, paradoxically, the humor embodied by the character of Zoran (Dragos
Bucur).

The director, as the first
floors of Truman Burbank in The Truman Show and paraphrasing the creative act,
the characters trapped by narrowing the space in which they work to the
detriment of the action. What emerges is a pure distillation of genuine feelings
and incredibly realistic.
The Way Back, due out June
6, is distributed by 01 Distribution.
