Russell Crowe’s “Water Diviner”: A Hit

It’s the top-grossing local film in Australia for 2014, and, though it would be too Aussie to release in the U.S., I’m a sucker for its plot, which involves a father (Russell Crowe) returning to Turkey where his sons were involved in some of the most deadly fighting of WWI. “Gallipoli” years later, in other words. Crowe not only starred in the film; he directed it.
