This listing is for a brand new, authentic, factory-sealed DVD of "Proof", directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse and starring Hugo Weaving, Russell Crowe and Genevieve Picot. Special features include audio commentary by the director, a second audio commentary by star Hugo Weaving, Martin's Photo Album and the original theatrical trailer. This DVD is the real thing, exactly what you would find in a retail store, NOT a bootleg, copy or import.
*** Please do not be fooled by sellers who sell DVDs that don't include a hard case or ship using a DVD sleeve to 'save on shipping.' Those discs are illegal copies, mass manufactured without cases to make production as cheap as possible. They seldom include the special features of a genuine DVD, and you'll notice that those sellers' shipping and handling fees do not reflect an interest in saving you money.
SHIPPING & PAYMENT: Your DVD will be shipped either the day payment is received or the very next business day via your selected shipping method in a secure and protective mailer. Shipping and handling is $4.25 for First Class or $6.65 for Priority Mail. I accept PayPal, personal checks (held until cleared) and money orders as forms of payment. If you opt to pay using a personal check or money order, you still must check out even though your payment will be sent via postal mail. This registers with eBay that you have followed through on your purchase and lets me know your decided payment method. Please scroll down for information on combined shipping and handling rates.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Customer service—before, during and after a transaction—is important to me. Please check my feedback for thousands of positive testimonies from buyers. If you receive a defective item, I will give you a full refund including your original shipping cost and return shipping, provided you mail the item and all its parts back to me. Insurance is available in case an item is damaged or lost by the postal system. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you might have. Please check my feedback, buy with confidence and know that I am an honest and exacting seller who appreciates your business. Thank you for looking!
You will always receive personal attention and fast service every step of the way when you buy from me; I do not rely on automated messages. You will receive person-to-person updates and speedy answers to any and all questions.
I DO COMBINE MULTIPLE PURCHASES & GIVE DISCOUNTED SHIPPING & HANDLING in the form of Media Mail and Priority Mail (applicable to single-disc or 2-disc DVDs only; box sets excluded). For Media Mail, shipping and handling for the first 2 DVDs is $5.50 plus $1.00 for each additional DVD (for example, 3 DVDs would be $6.50, 4 DVDs would be $7.50, etc.). For Priority Mail, shipping and handling for the first 2 DVDs is $8.50 and $9.75 for 3 DVDs. Because Priority Mail rates can vary after 1 pound (depending on the zip code of the shipping address), shipping and handling for 4 or more DVDs must be calculated on an individual basis. If you would like to buy 4 or more DVDs to be sent via Priority Mail, please purchase the items and you will receive a customized invoice shortly. Thank you!
For all orders sent via First Class or Media Mail, the mailers I use are made from 100% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable—even the tape is paper-based and environmentally benign. For Priority Mail, I use the cardboard mailers provided by the U.S.P.S.

| Movie description | This diabolically clever debut feature from writer-director Jocelyn Moorhouse swept the Australian Film Institute's 1991 annual awards. A blind photographer, his sexually frustrated housekeeper, and his only friend form an erotic and psychological triangle in this dry black comedy. Martin (Hugo Weaving) is a blind man who takes photographs as proof that the world he hears and touches is the same one that other people see. He lives as a quiet recluse, settled into a strict regiment with almost no contact with the outside world except for weekly visits from Celia (Geneviève Picot), his housekeeper. Celia is deeply in love with Martin and routinely attempts to seduce him, while he continuously rebuffs her advances. One day Martin befriends Andy (Russell Crowe), a dishwasher at a local Italian restaurant. Andy and Martin become close, and Martin asks Andy to describe his photos. He trusts Andy to tell the truth, and Andy becomes Martin's eyes, detailing the world around him. However, Celia's obsession with Martin becomes dangerous, and she plans to seduce Andy in an attempt to lure Martin back to her. When Martin catches Celia and Andy in their lie, he is left with the disturbing realization that Celia is out of control. However, this knowledge is also a catalyst for change, enabling him to free himself from Celia and move forward in his life. Weaving delivers a quiet and contemplative performance full of a rich and imaginative inner life, supported by Crowe, who is charismatic and charming in this early role.

| | Editorial reviews | "...Moorhouse has just the right acid wit....[The cast has] been very well chosen..."
Maslin
"...A very impressive first film..."
Film Comment - Kathleen Murphy (11/01/1991)
"...A pleasantly twisted little picture that has the kind of off-center impact money can't buy. A sharp and self-confident debut..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (04/17/1992)
"...Moorhouse has a way of putting all the pieces into place for a scene so that it pays off in ways we could not anticipate..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/15/1992)
"Electrifying! "One of the most joyous movie experiences in years."
New York Observer - Andrew Sarris
