si vede bene - Ismaele
I have not seen this movie since I
was a child, I am now 40 years old, but it still comes back to me. I loved this
movie. I may have seen it twice as I remember it so well. I think it impressed
upon me the ability children have to shine through adversity, and the need to
believe that they really can make it, if given the right encouragement, in the
right way, at the time that is right for them! I think it was a well acted and
well thought out story line, with a heart rending performance by Mandy Miller. I
would dearly love to see this movie again!
Alexander Mackendrick was chiefly known for his
wry comedies (The Man in the White Suit, Whisky Galore); this 1952 film was one
of his rare forays into drama, and it shows him the master of an understated
but highly charged style. What seems at first a typical problem drama of the
period--a mother's attempts to secure some kind of education for her deaf
daughter--is revealed as only the central image in a more general evocation of
the failures of communication in the British family structure. The vivid
performances Mackendrick elicits from his players (Phyllis Calvert, Mandy
Miller) combine with a subjective camera style to create one of the few
emotionally demanding experiences in the British cinema.
