🎬 Fearless (1993)

When architect Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) walks away from a catastrophic plane crash unscathed, he gains a new perspective on life. Drifting further from his wife (Isabella Rossellini), he connects with another crash survivor (Rosie Perez), the only one who can understand his existential grasp on the fragility of life.

Peter Weir's film delves into the psychological aftermath of survival, as Max Klein’s brush with death forces him to reassess the value of life, relationships, and his sense of self.

‘Fearless is like a short story that shines a bright light, briefly, into a corner where you usually do not look. It makes you realize how routine life can become; how it is actually possible to be bored despite the fact that a universe has evolved for eons in order to provide us with the five senses by which we perceive it.’ – Robert Ebert

Available as a 7-film Peter Weir Spotlight pass.
