Product Description:
Multi-layered and intensely original this is the widely-acclaimed story of a blind man whose deeply rooted mistrust of humanity prompts him to compulsively take photographs that document his world. The only problem is he's got to get somebody to describe his pictures to him. And when there's no one you can trust it's hard to find someone on whom you can rely.Running Time: 90 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 794043694226

Proof, a brilliant allegory about trust, is at once mordantly funny, chilling, and touching. It keeps us off balance from the beginning, challenging our assumptions about everything from the art of filmmaking to the nature of human relationships. The tone is reminiscent of David Mamet and Harold Pinter, but Australian writer-director Jocelyn Moorhouse has a quirky outlook all her own. Hugo Weaving (later known as the villainous Agent Smith in The Matrix), plays Martin, a blind photographer who compulsively shoots photos as proof of the actuality of his existence. He relies on his spiteful housekeeper, Celia (Geneviève Picot), to tell him what's in his snapshots. But can he trust her to tell him the truth? Celia rearranges the furniture so Martin will trip over it. Why? Because she's in love with him. But Martin won't let her into his heart; he's never been able to trust anyone. Into this quagmire of mutual torment walks Andrew, a regular guy personified, to become the first real friend Martin has ever had. At this point the picture jumps up a notch, for Andrew is played by hunky, appealing young Russell Crowe, whose emotional range and star quality are already unmistakable. Just when we think that Proof has devolved into yet another feel-good buddy picture, the ground shifts again beneath our feet. There are no easy answers in this movie; that's the pleasure in it. --Laura Mirsky

Whatever else it might be, the 1991 Australian motion picture Proof (not to be confused with the 2005 American movie) is a film that irresistibly compels a viewer to imagine life without the sense of sight. It's harder than ever to find originality in storytelling, but Proof achieves that rarity with its off-kilter tale of Martin, a paranoid, blind photographer (yes, that's what he is) living in Melbourne, Australia, who ponders whether or not his mother abandoned him by faking her death during ...

Proof (Jacqueline Moorhouse, 1991)
These days, anyone who remembers Proof probably does so because it contains a young Russell Crowe, something I was unaware of when I first tacked it onto my ever-growing list of movies to watch; I knew it was an early Hugo Weaving film (and discovered it because it has the same name as the decent-but-overrated Jake Gyllenhaal flick from a few years ago), which was enough to spark my interest. All I had to do was read a description of Weaving as a blind photographer, ... Read More

One of the more impressive features in `Proof' is that it manages to strike a chord in the viewer almost unknowingly. It really wasn't until the film was finished that I realized just how much of an impact that small film can have. It perfectly addresses the need for total and complete trust but balances that out with the need for forgiveness, the need for patience and the need for understanding. The film spends a great deal of time building trust with the audience, helping them to understand why it's characters ... Read More

Jocelyn Moorhouse has written and directed one of if not THE most original screenplay to come along in years.PROOF concerns itself with the issues of trust and obsession.Martin,brilliantly portrayed by Hugo Weaving,has been blind since birth.He has learned to develop all of his other senses and has relied solely upon them his entire life as the watermark of truth.Martin has photographs everything to prove he and the world exist.In his employ is a seemingly cold-hearted and vindictive housekeeper named Celia,played with ...

The movie Proof is a definite addition to any Russell Crowe fan. Hugo Weaving is very different from his later character in The Matrix, but he puts in an excellent performance. The ending is satisfying, though I didn't want the movie to end!
