English Title: The Color of Paradise.
Synopsis: A blind boy suffers because of his egotistical, unloving father.
Appraisal: This film has clear moralizing purposes and as it approaches the ending its tone becomes more and more sentimental and preachlike. It's competently made, and even its moralistic agenda is accomplished with as little manicheism as possible -- e.g. the father's point of view is exposed, and the film tries to show that it is comprehensible but not justifiable. I wouldn't recommend it to general audiences though, because it is not rewarding enough in a purely aesthetical or entertaining sense.
