Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Nineteen people with differing degrees of visual impairment - from mild nearsightedness to total blindness - discuss how they see themselves, how they see others and how they perceive the world. Writer and Nobel laureate José Saramago, musician Hermeto Paschoal, filmmaker Wim Wenders, blind Franco-Slovenian photographer Evgen Bavcar, neurologist Oliver Sacks, actress Marieta Severo, blind city councilman Arnaldo Godoy, among others, make personal and surprising revelations about various aspects of vision - the physiological working of the eye; the use of glasses and what it means about personality; the meaning of seeing or not seeing in a world saturated by images; and, also, the importance of emotions in transforming reality if, that is, there is such a thing common to all. Unusual images, of burning trees or empty deserts, link the interviews, which vary from deep to funny to poetic.
Leave your thoughts about Janela da Alma.
| User ReviewCarlos MMais do que um filme sobre a visão e os problemas/deficiências ópticos. "Janela da Alma" é um belíssimo tratado sobre a subjetividade humana e a relação desta com a visão exterior do meio. Contando com interessantes depoimentos e com belíssimas sequências lírico-visuais, o documentário expõe o quanto nossos sentimentos e imaginações influenciam o modo como vemos, interpretamos e exploramos o mundo (afinal, o que eu vejo não é a mesma coisa que você vê). Desse modo, o longa também desconstrói com sagacidade o senso comum de que a óptica externa é que determina nossa ação no ambiente - e é fascinante, inclusive, perceber como nossa perspectiva sobre o assunto muda ao longo da projeção. Talvez a dualidade entre a visão interna e externa continue bastante tênue, mas isso não nos impede de acompanhar um trabalho tão sensível e habilidoso sobre nossos sentidos e sobre nossa própria psique. |
| User ReviewIsabelle WLindo documentário sobre o olhar, com Saramago, Wim Wenders, Agnès Varda, e várias outras pessoas interessantes. |
| User ReviewClaudia FMy top 10. Why? Simple... Why we never think that our thinking can be blurred as our vision (if we have some vision deficiency like myopia or after drinking...). Worth watching! and not for everyone! |
| User ReviewJulie Kum dos melhores documentários brasileiros que já vi. grandes nomes entrevistados e declarações fantásticas, além de uma fotografia magnífica, escandalosa de tão perfeita (bem, sendo dirigido por um diretor de fotografia, tudo fica mais fácil)! |
| User ReviewWell ASom e imagem proporcionam uma viagem sensorial onde ótimos depoimentos pontuam momentos filosóficos e de poesia. Altamente imersivo, nos confronta com uma realidade acachapante. |
| User ReviewLucas MA interresting view of the perception about "windows to the soul". Great direction of Joao Jardim and Walter Carvalho. Fresh. |
| User ReviewAnand G"What is the meaning of seeing or not seeing in a world saturated by images?" |
