| | | | | | | | Triage is based upon the novel by Scott Anderson, the screenplay is adapted by its director Danis Tanovic, the talented Bosnian filmmaker who previously delivered the powerful multi-award-and-Oscar-winning No Man’s Land.
Colin Farrell plays Mark Walsh, a war photographer in the late eighties. Home in Dublin between assignments, he shares a few laughs at the pub with his friend and fellow photographer David (Jamie Sives) and the women in their lives, but they all know it’s only a matter of time before Mark’s no-nonsense editor (Juliet Stevenson) sends him back into the fray. This time it’s Kurdistan – and David goes with him. High in the arid mountains pursuing a war without borders, Mark and David witness and capture images that define this style of guerrilla warfare and tit-fortat attacks, from combatants, to a doctor who works heroically to save the wounded but shoots dead those heknows he can’t help.
Triage is a slow burn, gathering more and more emotional impact as it goes. It’s the mystery surrounding what really happened to Mark on his recent assignment that ultimately propels the story forward, with the final result a deliberately paced endeavour that’s consistently elevated by Farrell’s eye-opening performance. But it is Christopher Lee, in perhaps his most detailed dramatic performance of a very long career, who is the revelation.
