This rich adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's best-seller is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Amir, an Afghan émigré to America, is haunted by the memory of his betrayal of Hassan, his faithful companion. But when summoned to his father's friend's deathbed in Pakistan, Amir is given a chance "to be good again" and he embarks on an epic journey of rediscovery and redemption. Outstanding production design emphasises the film's massive scope, spanning continents and decades as it revolves around a simple, powerful theme: the past can be set right.
