The Book of Vision

THE BOOK OF VISION (2020) tells a story of love through the passage of time, with medical science's advancement as the backdrop. Due to its nature and slightly complicated arrangement of characters' relationship (mind you, the plot is interwoven between 18th century and modern days), this movie is deemed to appeal to certain audience and limited box office result. Nevertheless, Carlo Hintermann in his debut as feature film director has crafted an exquisite and thought-provoking work.

When our cinema is swamped with comic heroes, jump scares and meaningless violence, THE BOOK OF VISION is nothing but a bit of fresh air or, tell it like it is, a good 90 minutes of human emotion drama.
