Title: Abraham (2014)

My good friend and mentor Jans Rautenbach's first film in nearly thirty years is having one of its' first South African screenings in July at the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown.

I should add that this isn't a religious film but rather an examination of the human condition in a tortured artist who tries to escape his horrible world and live out his life through the work of a filmmaker. It is thus truly and tragically autobiographical and biographical in tone.

The selling line translates as If everyone listens but doesn't hear you, everyone looks but no one sees you.

I saw this last Friday afternoon: what a wonderful emotional film. I cried at the end: a very, very sad ending.  :bluesad:
