Review of Magnus (2008) by Stella I — 26 Jun 2008
There are not so many films that would haunt me for hours and days after watching them, but "Magnus" is definitely one of those rare cases. The film hypnotizes you with its sheer sincerity and poetic beauty.
The intimate way how the father and son are shown, their fears, doubts and dreams, their awkward attempts to communicate. This film reminded me of my own personal pains, as I also happened to become a mother when I was too young and focused on my career, rather than on my daughter.
"Magnus" should be mandatory to all would-be parents! One of the most subtle, humane and socio critical films which I have recently seen.
