I've been touting "Proof" for years.

What a fine little gem of a film.

In fact, Proof is one of the movies I listed under the "great films under the radar" thread a couple weeks ago. I love it when someone picks up on this movie. I'm glad you found it, Victor,

Proof had a very limited run in US theaters during it's theatrical release, although it made the festival circuit in '91 -'92. We can thank the subsequent stardom of Crowe (and Weaving) for home video in North America. I liked it so much I actually have an old Aussie PAL VHS of this.

I originally saw Proof at the Chicago Film Festival circa '91. That was the first time I laid eyes on Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe. Seeing Crowe later that winter in a completely different role, as the tough in Romper Stomper, convinced me he was the real deal. All three leads in Proof turn in remarkable performances, especially Picot.

Beside being available on DVD, Proof turns up every now and then on IFC channel.

BTW, there was a project to reunite Crowe and Moorehouse, along with Kate Blanchette, for a new film scheduled to shoot this winter - alas, just as principal photography was about to begin the production fell apart and the project was aborted. :-( I would love to see Moorehouse helm another film.
