perfect

A perfect film.

I admitt, my definition for Beau Is Afraid is a profound subjective one and, I suppose, after its end, each impression, verdict, opinion about this fim can not be other than subjective at whole.

Because it offers , in my case, a significant dose of memories about different experiences.

Because Joaquin Phoenix is, again, just great.

Because the dominant mother and the anxiety of adult son , helpless, scared, victim of creepy events, unsecure, vulnerable moment by moment is mixed with familiar slices of fairy tales .

Because al is realistic, from the family looking for a surogate son to the sadistic teen feeling ignored, from the sex in mother bed to the fight against venerable lady and so Kafkaiesque trial of the last scenes..

The essential piece of story is represented by Phoenix eyes.

In short, perfect. Sure, for fundamental subjective reasons.
