Mozart and the Whale (2005)
A love story between two savants with Asperger's syndrome, a kind of autism, whose conditions sabotage their budding relationship.
This film will take you and down an emotional roller coaster ride. You will laugh, you will cry, you stare dumbstruck at the screen. It is filled with real beauty and emotion that will touch the very core of your soul. Donald and Isabelle are part of small group of young people living with autism and this film is a window into their lives as they struggle to live with their autism and find love. This is not a light hearted movie for a Friday night after a long week at work but it is a beautiful and magnficent film that many of us have overlooked since it's release. Fortunately its on cable and on DVD so you can still see it and I would strongly encourage you to do so. Kudos to Josh Harnett and Radha Mitchell for a fabulous job as Donald and Isabelle.
