From director Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (2003) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the moving image. According to the official rationale, “MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD transports its audience to a 19th Century ship and shows what it would be like to live among its crew. The film unfolds in the tradition of sea-going movie classics, but with a modern attention to detail and camerawork that fully enlists the viewer in the journey. Russell Crowe proves once again that he is the leading man for human tales in epic form.”
