Simply Perfect
Admirable film.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
This is one of the best films i've seen in the last ten years. It's full of very rich character relationship. But the one i really adore is the one between Jonás and Anziano, his teacher. Through this role superb played by Heinz Bennet, Tanner actualizes world cinematography landscape, and refresh the european. Anziano's gaze is as lucid that blinds, and really out of intellectual poses. This comment must end honestly inviting to see the movie. Don't forget to take a note pad to write down Anziano's commets on movie making and Mankind.
