The unlikely combination of Australia (ANZAC)
and Turkey – the battle of Gallipoli is the stage where Connor (Russell Crowe)
loses his three sons to battle. Or does he? The Water Diviner sees his wife Eliza
(Jacqueline Mckenzie) take her own life, and, left with nothing in the world to
live for, makes his way to Gallipoli to find his sons. Connor finds his way to
the home of Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), wherein love blossoms between erstwhile
enemies. Connor makes a dangerous journey into the heartland, making unlikely
friends and allies along the way, in the quest to find his three missing sons.
With a depiction of the Outback that is as well-rendered as the nuances of
Turkey in 1919, The Water Diviner is a low-profile hit and one that is
definitely worth a watch
