A man bearing the unseen scars of war struggles to recover amidst a family in chaos in this drama from writer and director Danis Tanovic. Mark Walsh (Colin Farrell) is a photojournalist who has earned a reputation for working in some of the most unforgiving locations on Earth, so when his editor Amy (Juliet Stevenson) asks him to cover the fighting in Kurdistan, Mark takes the assignment and thinks little of it, though his wife Elena (Paz Vega) is considerably more concerned. Mark and his friend and fellow photographer David (Jamie Sives) head off to the war full of confidence, but when Mark comes home alone after being separated from David, he seems like a different person, gaunt and unable to relax. Elena can't get Mark to talk about what he saw that left him so traumatized, so she invites her father Joaquin (Christopher Lee), a veteran psychoanalyst with military experience, for a visit to see if he can help. But as Joaquin struggles to get Mark to open up, the father's presence ignites an old conflict between him and Elena; the doctor was a supporter of Franco during the Spanish Civil War and served under the dictator's regime, and Elena has never been able to forgive him for his actions against the Spanish loyalists. Triage was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Robert T.

Very good film but I could not hear nor understand the dialogue. My wife also had the same complaint. Verry good story and acting. That has been the norm with some films I have seen lately, dialogue way too low and explosions very loud. Either I'm going deaf or the sound is poor on some of these films.

Would have been even better if this movie had subtitles.....simply because the accents of actors was difficult to understand, at times. But, a very good movie......Colin is outstanding!

This film is not what it appears to be on its surface or through the first half hour. The relationship between and performances of Colin Farrell with Christopher Lee are understated and yet brilliant.
