A Thousand Times Good Night

Rebecca is one of the world’s leading war photographers, she is passionate about her job and travels from one war torn area to the next in the hope that her photos can make a difference. When she is injured and nearly killed by a suicide bomb attack while working in Kabul, her husband presents her with an ultimatum: she must choose between her career and her family. Juliette Binoche delivers a brilliant performance as Rebecca, a woman torn between the two worlds. peg
