电影 死亡欧洲

Australia's  Tony  Krawitz  (Jewboy,  The  Tall  Man)  directs  the  adaptation  of  The  Slap  author  Christos  Tsiolkas'  award-winning  novel  in  this  searing  film  about  history,  guilt  and  secrets.
Ewen  Leslie  delivers  a  great  performance  as  photographer  Isaac,  whose  father's  death  in  suburban  Sydney  reveals  the  schism  in  his  family  and  prompts  a  return  to  the  ancestral  homeland.
On  a  trip  to  his  parent's  village  in  Greece,  he  learns  something  of  his  father's  cursed  history.
At  first  he  dismisses  the  revelation  as  superstitious  nonsense,  but  over  the  course  of  his  travels  -  from  Greece  to  Paris  to  Budapest  -  Isaac  is  forced  to  confront  the  anti-Semitism  of  the  past,  the  embedded  bigotry  in  the  bones  of  Europe  and  the  nature  of  inherited  guilt.
It  is  on  this  fateful  trip  that  Isaac  will  learn  the  truth  of  his  family's  migration  to  Australia,  their  refusal  to  ever  return  to  Greece,  and  the  burden  he  continues  to  bear  as  a  consequence  of  acts  committed  years  before  his  birth.
Krawitz  sensitively  depicts  this  clash  of  mythology  and  a  very  contemporary  reality  in  this  daring  and  enigmatic  film  populated  by  spirits  and  outcasts.
