It's fitting perhaps that a film based on Rai Gaita's memoirs should play rather like a string of memories; we don't remember the past in a linear story but as patches, chapters, moments, sometimes merely fractions of their entirety. Full Review

The darkness of the story is counterbalanced by some of the most radiantly beautiful cinematography I've seen in a long time. Full Review

Helming bow by Oz thesp Richard Roxburgh predictably leaves actors plenty of room, but the literary tone and episodic structure rob the pic of dramatic momentum. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- For all that it's well made and expertly acted, the film keeps its audience at arm's length, letting viewers observe without offering an emotional portal of entrance. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- For all its sad moments, Romulus, My Father is a love story between father and son kept aloft by unalloyed admiration. Full Review

Product Description:

Actor Richard Roxburgh makes a smooth transition to directing with this moving drama adapted from Raimond Gaita's memoir. Eric Bana (MUNICH) stars as Romulus, a Yugoslavian man who struggles to raise his young son alone in Victoria, Australia. After the family moves from Europe, his wife's depression takes over and she leaves her husband and son alone to fend for themselves in the foreign country. Franka Potente (THE BOURNE IDENTITY) plays the absent mother, while Marton Csokas and Russell Dykstra costar.
