Cómo THE FATHER rompe la continuidad cinematográfica para hacerte sentir confundido.

In this episode, we analyze Florian Zeller's The Father (2020): a film that not only addresses Alzheimer's, but makes you feel it. We discuss the characters, the non-linear narrative structure, and how the production design becomes the story's central mechanism. 🎬 How do you film a fragmented mind? What visual choices construct that disorientation? All this and more in an hour-long analysis from the perspective of a filmmaker and designer.
