Sins of the Father: Krawitz’s Adaptation Promises More Than It Delivers
You can’t escape the past, and if your family has demons haunting it from bad karma dating back to World War II, someone’s going to have to reckon with them. At least that’s what’s in store for a Greek family that relocated to Australia in Tony Krawitz’s adaptation of Christos Tsiolkas’ novel, Dead Europe. The second fictional film from Krawitz, who first directed the 2005 film, Jewboy, begins with a moody, ominous setup, and features a nonchalantly gay lead character, whose sexuality, refreshingly, has no correlation to the proceedings. However, the excellent build up is let down by a second half that feels inevitably predictable, another title in a series of film stories capitalizing on the horrors of Old World Europe.

Aussie filmmaker Tony Krawitz first drew international notice and won accolades in 2005 with Jewboy, a dramatic short he wrote and helmed that starred Ewan Leslie as a orthodox Jew struggling to find his place in the world and within his own family.

Now at last Krawitz offers his narrative feature follow-up Dead Europe. The drama, which made its world premiere Friday night at the Toronto International Film Festival, reteams Krawitz with Leslie, who stars as Isaac, an Australian photographer who learns some dark secrets while mourning the death of his father. Per his father's last wishes, Isaac takes his ashes to Greece with plans to disperse them from a scenic vista. But when he's stopped by a someone...
