Proof (1991)

The most original premise here: Hugo Weaving plays Martin, a blind photographer who takes pictures and has other people describe them, treating the photos as proof that the world is what they say it is. Everything turns on whom he can trust to tell him the truth about a picture. Jocelyn Moorhouse's 1991 Australian debut is small, prickly and funny, with a young Russell Crowe as the friend whose descriptions win Martin over. It won Best Film at the Australian Film Institute Awards. For photographers it asks an unexpected question: is a photograph evidence at all if nobody honest is looking at it?
