Far and Away (1992)

As Alex and Ben are joined by a guest to discuss Ron Howard's romantic 'epic' Far and Away, we take a trip back to 19th century Ireland and Boston to watch the budding romance of Cruise and Kidman blossom. While the quality of accents varies, so does the tone of the film, making for an uneven, but not entirely unentertaining watch. Its safe to say this isn't like anything we've discussed before, so how will our fresh eyes compare to those of someone who has seen it untold numbers of times? Be warned: there are rude words littered throughout (including 'bum', 'willy' and 'cleavage'). Want to share your thoughts or list of favourite Cruise films with us? Contact details are at the end of the episode. Artwork is by Laura Highton; music is Mission: Improbable by Dorian Kelly..
