All of us came from a window in the rooftop

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2019)

"Room" isn't just a film about a rape; it is a film about the dialectic of experience of the world, about the perception of reality. Surely the dramatic case of a woman kept in a room for years, and raped, especially if we think that's a real story, creates empathetic feelings for us; but this point is also a way to explore how a kid - taken just as a new born human being - can build his own mythology basing his considerations on what he can find in his world, that's simply a microscopic room. After the exit the difficulty to consolidate human relationships demonstrates the delicate period of exploration of another world that doesn't necessarily coincide with the first one. A movie that mix psychological topics (the strange relationship between mother and son outside their constricted but familiar world) with metaphysical questions about origin and kantian demands about perception of reality. Amazing.
