While on assignment photographing a female suicide bomber group, top war photographer Rebecca gets badly hurt in an explosion. Back home, her husband and daughters can no longer bear the thought of her dying on assignment in some faraway land. Rebecca is forced to choose between her family and her work.
A Norwegian-made, English-language film set in Ireland, Kenya and Afghanistan, and starring French luminary Juliette Binoche, would seem to wear its internationalism on its sleeve. Yet globe-trotting, at least to war zones, forms the central conflict in A Thousand Times Goodnight, Erik Poppe's gripping tale of a dedicated photojournalist torn between passionate involvement with her work and commitment to her worried family. Deftly sidestepping both melodrama and family-values messaging, Poppe imbues the film with enormous emotional resonance, brilliantly grounded by his leading lady. The absence of subtitles and the presence of Binoche should open global arthouse doors for this Montreal fest grand prizewinner.
