The Clinic

New veterinary school graduate Dr. Andrew McDonald encounters many challanges on his first day as an intern at a rural but busy veterinary hospital. Along with the beasts, there is legendary chief veterinarian Dr. Cyrus Gachet, the cynical senior surgeon Dr. Kyle Southern, and a pretty young vet Dr. Emma Matthews. There is a ferret, a wounded cat, a St. Bernard dog, two horses, a deer and a fire to endure.

Directed by Neill Fearnley, The Clinic leans on a strong ensemble — Jonathan Scarfe, Mike Farrell, Ione Skye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2004.
