Force of Destiny

Force of Destiny is a 2015 Australian film written and directed by Paul Cox.

[1] The film was based on Cox's liver transplant.

[2][3][4] A sculptor, Robert, who lives and works by himself outside Melbourne discovers he has terminal liver cancer.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote the film "constitutes a series of scenes repeated with variation in pitch: Robert in hospital, Robert fretted over by his wife and daughter, then soothed by the devotion of Maya.

The character of Maya is solicitous, unquestioning, mysterious but earthy: a flattened version of a real woman... the Indian sections in Force of Destiny — in which Maya returns to India to be by the bedside of her uncle (Mohan Agashe), also stricken by cancer — feel organic only to the film’s financing.
