Abel (2010)
Think, therefore I am
"Think, therefore I am" is the best way I could describe this movie. The Director shows how a child with a mental illness found its place in this world by assuming the role of the family's head in the absent of it. Something to think about is how this child built its role in his head by models found in old fashion movies, and then the film shows what happens when he found a free way to expressed himself without finding any obstacle playing the father and husband's role, accepted by a mother who found in this odd behavior, a hope to rescue him from an mental isolation life.
Life is the addition of little moments with a meaning and this film shows a drama with those funny and tragic moments of the family.
The director let us see urban art invoking nostalgic moments from past decades in its scenes and little details. He did a great work to catch the natural and graceful performance of the children.
