Tobi

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and it left me a very strange feeling. The parents of a small boy, Tobi, discover that a couple of angel wings are growing on his sun.

The fantastic storyline is developed into a quite sad and melodramatic script that tries to avoid all the characteristics of the fantastic genre, showing the reality of everyday life. The whole thing works quite well delivering a strange, uncomfortable atmosphere. I remember it as a sad film, specially the end scene.

I hope my rusty english is good enough to make this review understable for everybody. I am spanish, and i don't practice much nowadays.

I remember to have watched this film with my parents at home when i was a little boy. It impressed me and i was shocked by how society treat the boy, as a circus freak because the fear and misunderstanding about the disacknowledged things, however the little boy is not a bit of feared or ashamed or so, in the entire movie.

The final escene is so emotive. I also remember to be already guessing it right before the events where about to happen, so it wasn't a big surprise at all. But shocking, anyways.

I think it was a shocking and not average film for that year (1978). The spanish films wheren't like this one, definitively.

Recently i've found this film and i will definitively offer my 7 years old daughter to watch it. Same as i did when i was her age, we will watch it at home with my wife.

If you have the chance to view it, do it. I think childs would enjoy it.

At least, i did.

I loved this movie as a child, and I wish I can see it again... I remember watching this movie as a child too, in Argetina... I saw it many, many times with my mother. This movie is about a very cute boy, around the age of 6-8 and one day grows angel wings, no one was able to explain it... I remember the mother taking him to see doctors and then they placed him in exhibition or something similar for people to see him, I can not remember that very well... but I do remember a scene where is looking at a bunny and the bunny looks back at him and moves with nose... the boy imitates the movement of the bunny... I can't remember how the movie ended but I remember that it was a very sad ending. I have been wanting to watch this movie for a very long time but I could never find any information on it. I remember my mother telling me it was from Spain.

That was an excellent movie, it was really great,I think it was a master piece in foraging movies, you don't get to see that many movies with that kind of dialog on it, the way the plot was done and how the characters where played, they keep you at the edge and thinking about what is going to happened, especially when includes something that you think is not possible but is there in front of you, on the screen, and makes you think about life itself and wonders, I was maybe like 9 or 10 when I watched this movie with my mother and it make me cry, I have been looking for this movie for so long and I was lucky to find it right here, thank you very much for this site, keep up the good work....
