ANTOINE - Director Laura Bari

Enough of big Hollywood blockbusters today I'm gonna talk of an independent movie directed by an Argentinian director Laura Bari that I saw some weeks ago:

"ANTOINE "

Laura's first movie is a big success to me. The film tell the story of Antoine a Vietnamese born in Canada boy who happens to be blind.

In this documentary in order to make the boy share and show his life with the audience, Laura created a role-play game with the boy on which he would be a detective, a blind detective. She follows him in the intimate of his life at home and at school.

The imagination and the freedom of this blind boy who is perfectly at ease with the microphones and being in the center of this movie is amazing and give us lessons about how we can live our lives in spite of all the problems.

The film has a very good editing and great music and images. It could last 10 minutes less but in general is a great movie, Bravo to the director, it's always good to see low budget independent movies breaking through like this! I'm curious to see what she's gonna make next.

Final words: If this movie is screened on a festival or theater near you... don't miss it!
