After James (Dan Stevens), a blind man, inexplicably regains his vision, he becomes possessed by a drive to make a better life for himself. However, his new improvements - a nicer home, a higher paying job, tailored suits, luxury car - leave little room for the people who were part of his old, simpler life: his plain wife (Malin Åkerman) and close friend Bob (Oliver Platt). As his relationships buckle under the strain of his snowballing ambition, it becomes uncertain if James can ever return from darkness. Fluk paints a visual world that reflects the mesmerizing effect that newfound sight has on James; the vibrant backgrounds and the sun-drenched rooms are captivating in their beauty. His dreamy and subjective style combines with an astute sense of character to craft a modern morality fable of desire, perception, and what it really means to be blind. (Tribeca Film Festival)
(más)Reseñas (1)
A slow, thoughtful, hypnotic piece of nothing. While the film deals with the right and wrong decisions in life, instead of analysing the main characters and their transformations "before and after", the screenwriter cements it with religious agitprop. There is some creative potential, but it will probably take a few more years to mature. Dan Stevens is much more suited to a charming madman with an assault rifle in his hand, and Malin Akerman, who looks deliberately like a young old lady here, is also better suited to Watchmen.
