A talented dancer who was abducted and tortured by three mysterious women struggles to come to grips with his harrowing experience. This adaptation from an unsettling novel is about a beautiful and charismatic dancer who has immersed himself in a dream world of graceful movement, Daniel (Tom Long) maintains an amiable but somewhat detached relationship with his girlfriend, and a passionate relationship with his mentor and choreographer Isabel (Greta Scacci). When his girlfriend asks him to buy a pack of cigarette in the morning of a big performance night, he doesn't return, the women in his life are devastated. Upon returning without explanation eleven days later, the profoundly shaken Daniel is unable to articulate his experience and loses his ability to dance. To make matters worse, Daniel is unable to engage emotionally with even the people who were closest to him before the strange incident. Now, in order to reclaim his identity by confronting his abductors, Daniel sets out to find the three women with only his memories of the ambient sounds that flowed into his window to guide him.
THE BOOK OF REVELATION is an Australian premier film that tackled a very rare issue – male rape. Tom Long powerfully and convincingly portrayed the role of a mesmerizing lead dancer turned powerless victim. All departments – Acting, Direction, Musical Score, Editing, Screenplay, Cinematography – are stunningly topnotch that they surely deserve international recognition. This will definitely stay as one of my favourites. A MUST-SEE!
