Le chiavi di casa (2004)

English Title: The Keys to the House.
Synopsis: A man meets for the first time his 15 year old disabled son whom he abandoned at birth.
Appraisal: There are good things in this film; among them I will mention the mise-en-scene (exceptional in the handling of emotional scenes) and the marvellous work of the young actor. The screenplay does a fine job of portraying the progression of the characters's emotions. Unfortunately, there are certain things in it with which I can't agree, in particular a series of irrational actions taken by the kid's father, that can't plausibly be attributed to his emotional state or low intelligence. Anyone who watches the film will see what I mean, or they can go to the users's comments for this movie at IMDb.
Rating: 60
