The Academy Award-winning actor discusses his new aid-worker movie, along with his ongoing efforts teaching acting in California prisons.
In A Perfect Day, which opens today, Tim Robbins plays “B,” one of a team of aid workers navigating the Balkan conflict in 1995. When we first meet B, a veteran logistics expert, he is giving a ride to Sophie (Mélanie Thierry), an aid-work rookie. The two are stopped in their tracks by a cow carcass, which B hypothesizes was dragged there to lure drivers into a roadside mine. But is the mine to the left or the right? B solves the problem by speeding recklessly over the carcass itself.
