An Unexpected Pleasure

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2002)

I knew only a very basic outline of this film, that it was based on a Nobel Prize winner and that he suffered from a mental illness. Yes sounds a little dull at first sight for a cinematic experience but in fact turned out to be a real treat.
Russels Crows unusual character draws you in from the beginning and from there you are totally gripped by what unfolds before you. I don't want to give away any of the story line just suffice to say that I throughly enjoyed this film on many levels. A moving stroy and a real joy.
8/10.
