Aperson can be greedy about a whole lot of things, but Rebecca (excellently played by Juliette Binoche) in "1,000 Times Good Night" is greedy about work.
She is one of the world's top five war photographers, and because she's a woman (and therefore deemed trustworthy), she often gains access to places and situations closed to her male counterparts. Rebecca's hunger to capture the next photo that will redefine the image of modern warfare is insatiable. To this end, she will do anything and go to the far reaches of the globe, putting her life on the line in ways that her family back home in Norway would never want to imagine.
"1,000 Times Good Night" throws a number of crucial questions at us, the first of which is: Should war and violence be a photo opportunity? The opening scene is gripping and shows Rebecca preparing to shoot a suicide bombing in Afghanistan. She has been promised access to the event at close proximity — to go in just before detonation and then to get out — but her passion to capture the moment leads to disaster. This time, her brush with death is way too close.
