4.0 out of 5 stars This Film Has A Great Message, December 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Far Country [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film when I was young, and am quite happy to find it again. It is the story of a doctor who was forced to join the German Army during WWII, and later moved to Australia, hoping to escape the memories and prejudice of war. After attempting to save the life of a logging man, the community discovers he was in the German Army, and he is threatened with deportation.
I can't give away the ending, but the message is real and heart felt. Definitely worth watching.

This review is from: The Far Country (DVD)

I own this movie and I have never read the book. I enjoyed the movie very much - I do not understand why people give movies such bad ratings because they do not follow the book. Can't anyone just enjoy the movie for itself and it's own contents?

This review is from: The Far Country (DVD)

We have not read the book, but thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The characters are dynamic, the plot well-paced, and the acting professional. Michael York's character was fascinating, and I think many faces of human nature were explored through his evolution and his influence on those around him. We were sorry when it was over!
