The Railway Man, directed by Jonathan Teplitsky, is now in the cinemas, fighting against an avalanche of American tentpole product. We can only hope it reaches an audience, because the picture is surely worth watching. The original true story pushes against the edges of what we believe about human nature, and offers a deeply satisfying act of redemption.
In a sense, producer Andy Paterson was repaying a compliment by bringing Teplitsky aboard, as Jonathan made the decision to bring him into The Burning Man. [We covered that saga in Jonathan Teplitzky: slow burn for a Burning Man and Burning Man: the producer’s point of view].
