With the reopening of cinemas, our film commentary section is also back.
Freshly honored with two Oscars, one for Best Adapted Screenplay and the other for Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins, Florian Zeller’s drama is the film that shines with the reopening of theaters.
For in addition to the emotion evoked by his play, The Father, which traces the inner journey of an 81-year-old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, there is also a masterful direction and stunning performances by the actors.
While Olivia Colman skillfully asserts herself in the role of the daughter, Anthony Hopkins is completely disarming. Combined with the experience, the vulnerability that the octogenarian actor displays here has the power to take us from laughter to tears and make us feel, deep within ourselves, the turmoil caused by the loss of bearings.
A film that will be remembered for a long time.
