Simón de la montaña

Director Federico Luis has an interesting concept and intention to explore the awkwardness of loneliness and disabilities amongst people. With good sound designs and atmosphere, Luis does offer an interesting concept about the themes of friendship, disability, disadvantages and the surroundings of all the themes together.

It reminded me a lot of the movie "The Idiots". Where it explored disability individuals and the surroundings of everything. However, despite a good intention, Luis never really fully took advantage of it's concept as the writing at times feels slim, and the characters are never really given full motivations, which makes it a bit difficult to fully connect or understood the purpose of them.

But the strong performance from Lorenzo Ferro, good direction and atmosphere does offer some good insights to this movie.
