Lost in the wilderness for many years, Phillip Borsos’ epic depiction of Canadian icon Dr. Norman Bethune and his work with the Chinese Communist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War has finally found its way back to the big screen! Donald Sutherland is terrific as the driven, cantankerous doctor, as is Helen Mirren as his wife, Frances Penny Bethune. Shot under arduous conditions in remote areas of China, the film’s scope and boldness of conception remain undiminished.
