About this product

Product Information

SWIMMING UPSTREAM is an inspiring drama that tells the true story of Australian swimmer Tony Fingleton (Jess Spencer), who rose above his deeply troubled home life in order to become a national champion in 1950s Brisbane. Consistently tormented by his bullying older brother and his alcoholic father Harold (Geoffrey Rush), Tony leaned on his other brother John and his loving mother, Dora (Judy Davis), for support. When Harold grudgingly takes the children to the local pool one day, he discovers Tony and John's very special gift. Soon, both boys are winning tournaments all over the country. Thinking this might be the way into his father's heart, Tony is shocked to discover that his success only sparks more animosity. Harold's notorious mood swings and alcoholism increases as Tony makes his way to the Australian Nationals, forcing Tony to find the strength within himself to become a bona fide champion.Two of the world's finest actors, Rush and Davis, once again deliver astonishingly assured performances, as does the charming Spencer. Director Russell Mulcahy (RAZORBACK, TALE OF THE MUMMY) boldly devotes as much screen time to the domestic squabbles as he does to the action scenes, which makes SWIMMING UPSTREAM a unique sports picture.

  • A little nervous at first....but pleasantly surprised

    I am a huge fan of Jesse Spencer on House, so I decided to buy this movie to see how he did in it. I was a little hesitant at first, but it was actually very well written and the actors did a wonderful job. It was a very realistic portrayal of a family in the midst of alcoholism and the children trying to seek aproval. I truely enjoyed this movie.

  • SWIMMING UPSTREAM.

    JESSE SPENSER GIVES A TOUCHING PERFORMANCE AS A SON SEEKING THE LOVE AND APPROVAL OF HIS ALCOHOLIC FATHER. THE DYSFUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS OF AN ALCOHOLIC'S FAMILY ARE WELL DEVELOPED AND WELL ACTED. BASED AN A TRUE STORY, IT SHOWS A GREAT DEAL OF SENSITIVITY IN THE COMPITITION AND RIVALRY BETWEEN BROTHERS. IT'S A GREAT AUSTRAILAN FILM.AFTER SEEING ONLY THE ENDING OF THE FILM I KNEW I HAD TO OWN IT.

  • fine foreign film

    a fine example of down under film making and subject matter. Some times it is best to look ahead and not back.
