Cinephile No. 575 "My Blind Brother"

"My Blind Brother" proves there is nothing so bad in this world that we can't find some humor in the pain or misfortune. Of course, context is key and so are the jokes being told, both of which are brilliantly done in this film. In fact for much of the film, the blind brother acts as both the hero and the antagonist. You will find yourself both loving and hating him, often in the same scene. This isn't the first film to step into these waters, nor is it the first film to tackle a disability with humor. With that said, the refreshing thing about this film was its approach. For that and so much more, it is worthy of your consideration. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan
