M | 126 Mins | 1998 | DCP | USA | D: Gus Van Sant
While working as a janitor at MIT, Will Hunting (Matt Damon), a working-class genius with a troubled past, anonymously solves complex maths equations. Discovered by a professor, he finds himself in therapy with Sean Maguire (Robin Williams).
This powerful examination of trauma, emotional vulnerability and the fear of change was co-written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who plays protagonist Will’s best buddy.
‘Gus Van Sant, working from the tangy, well-written script, gets so much humor, grit and emotional truth out of this tale that the familiar formulas behind it simply fall away.’ – Newsweek
Good Will Hunting is held in the NFSA collection.
