Part of our Sunburnt Screens, for the first time The Right Hand Man comes to life on Blu-ray with exclusive restoration and extra features.

Extraordinarily beautiful, Judith Crist stagecoach driver (Hugo Weaving) goes to work for a dying, one-armed aristocrat (Rupert Everett) in 1860s Australia. The two men are soon involved in an intense, complex relationship with a spirited and beautiful young woman (Catherine McClements).

A thoughtful drama with meditations on mortality, class, independence and love, it is an atypical journey into the nation's past.Directed and adapted for the screen by an all-female team (director Di Drew and screenwriter Helen Hodgman) a rarity for the era this lavish and ambitious Australian period drama was shot mostly on location in Bathurst, New South Wales.

Interesting to see some early Hugo Weaving on Blu! Would be interesting to see
The City's Edge and For Love Alone if film elements can be found.
