Resoundingly impactful suspenser about the tragic consequences resulting from the actions (and inactions) of four fishermen in Australia after they discover a murdered woman's body floating in the river. Gabriel Byrne, Laura Linney. Directed by Ray Lawrence and written by Beatrix Christian, who adapted a Raymond Carver short story, "So Much Water, So Close to Home," which was filmed once before as part of Robert Altman's "Short Cuts," a 1993 pastiche of tales of L.A. suburbanites.
