Trailer
Why watch this film?
The most powerful movie of the awards season, nominated for both the Oscar and the Golden Globe, 'The Father' does not follow the basic formula of stories about Alzheimer's Disease - such as 'Simply Alice' and 'Ella & John'. Directed, written and based on Florian Zeller's play, the feature film follows the routine of an elderly man (Anthony Hopkins) who is beginning to have his memory affected by the degenerative disease. In the middle of this, the protagonist's daughter (Olivia Colman from 'The Favourite') enters, who must deal with this new unstable moment of her father. It is a smart and daring film, which plays with temporality and the notion of things around. We do not see the degeneration of this man's memory from afar, as if it were a zoo. Quite the contrary. Zeller, with a clever and original script, puts the viewer in the mind of this man, with all his confusions and weaknesses. Hopkins ('The Silence of the Lambs') is spectacular, in one of his best performances in two decades. He swallows the movie, takes it for himself and gains ownership. It's hard not to shed a few tears. Great movie.
