    a man. his mother

    Two virtues - the realistic exploration of a dementia case and the relation between a young man and his mother in her critic moments. Admirable performance of Jo Deseure and Jean Le Peltier and the bitter - sweet scenes about discover of mental health problem, the dilemma between become father or be supporting son and the try to balance the relation with the women of his life.

    A beautiful film for melancholic air, for remind of relation of our mothers and for the reaction of Alex when the effect of pills are too powerful.

    In same measure, a portrait of lost of yourself under pressure of events out controll.

    Seasons of Life

    Life has its seasons. Sometimes it is hard to adapt to change, especially when we let us get too involved. But when we stop resisting and open ourselves to the wonder that surrounds us, we can find a complete and full joy, with which we should live every day.

    This movie surprised me. It is too well made. It threw me into anguish and touched the threshold of physical discomfort for over an hour. But the final wing stroke gave me joy, strength and hope. This is not a film for everyone, but if you are fascinated by how perfect directing and great actors can touch and influence your conscience, while you are sitting in a dark room or on your living room couch, you should not miss this film.
