“The Water Diviner”

Several months ago, on a flight to Europe, my wife and I both watched a Russell Crowe film called The Water Diviner.

I hadn’t heard of it before, but I was intrigued by its title, since I’m a passionately superstitious practitioner of water witching.

No.  Wait.  That’s the phony persona that’s been created for me by a small, inbred gaggle of my more obsessive, dishonest, and deranged critics.

Actually, the film caught my attention because it was set in Australia and in Turkey during the first part of the twentieth century.

I have no idea how The Water Diviner did, commercially speaking.  But it was very good, we thought, and I strongly recommend it.
