Festival Note
Winner of the Grand Prize at Cannes’ Critics Week. Lorenzo Ferro plays Simon, a young man whose behavior is so unusual that no one seems to object when he falls in with a group of intellectually disabled people from a local center. His mother (Laura Nevole) insists that he doesn’t have a disability: that all the tics and odd tendencies are just things he’s making up. Playing at that ambiguity, the movie sits in discomfort, sketching out a world where no one is quite sure what is real.
Nanalo ng Grand Prize sa Cannes’ Critics Week. Si Lorenzo Ferro ay gumaganap bilang Simon, isang kakaibang binata na bigla na lang sumama sa isang grupo ng mga intellectually disabled na tao mula sa isang local center. Sigurado ang kanyang nanay (Laura Nevol) na walang disability si Simon: na ang lahat ng kanyang tic and kakaibang kaugalian ay gawa-gawa lang niya. Naglalaro ang pelikula sa ganitong kalabuan, at nagpapakita ng mundo na walang may alam kung ano ang totoo.
