Flashbacks take the viewer to the life of the main character prior to his stroke and we get to see him interact with his father, his kids, women and friends. It's an interesting story and the actor plays the lead very well. Though it's a serious movie, it has comical parts. He talks to himself while trapped in this fragile state and some of the things he says are amusing, sexual, reflective... Great cast, great story. Definitely worth a rent. And for those who complain about the surprise subtitles and give it no stars, DON'T RENT MOVIES WITH SUBTITLES! HOW COULD YOU RENT THIS AND THEN WRITE A BAD REVIEW SOLELY BECAUSE IT'S FOREIGN? WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM??? Have a nice day. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

wow, wah wah wah. its not in english, the camera moved too much. i feel sorry for the weak. very good acting, true and remarkable story, good writing, good photography. maybe not best picture of the year but better than a lot of other crap that was nominated. open you mind, check this one out. there is a message and it is entertaining.

Read MoreI rented this movie, not realizing it was not in English. I didn't care to read the entire time when that was not what I had planned on. I generally don't like blurry, shaky "Blair Witch" type movies and avoid them like the plague, but I could get into this one because it fit so well with understanding the frustration and limits of the character.
The story moves sort of slow, but I think that it adds to what they are trying to express in the storyline about the character and his frustrations.
My husband found the repeated alphabet incredibly annoying, but other than that, it was a good show. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I found this moving quite boring that I had to return unfinished. I really thought to be a good one as seen on it previous reviews but I guess it is not really my taste. Not for me! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
