Only the Blind can See
One of the most powerful movies I have ever seen in my life.
I will admit, though. The beginning and some of the middle was difficult to get through, but with about an hour left, it changed my mind.
Plot summary copied from imdb.com:
"Selma has emigrated with her son from Central Europe to America. The year is 1964. Selma works day and night to save her son from the same disease she suffers from, a disease that inevitably will make her blind. But Selma has the energy to live because of her secret! She loves musicals. When life feels tough she can pretend that she is in the wonderful world of musicals...just for a short moment. All happiness life is not able to give her she finds there..." written by Fredrik Klasson {fredrik.klasson@telia.com}
The camera work is reminiscent of a home movie, and the musical scenes change style, adding noise to the visual. At moments simplistic, at times beautiful, it became genius to me.
Warning: the ending is intense, but if you're not squeamish, it is simply perfect.
