Anton (1996) presents a poignant exploration of grief through the eyes of a young boy. The film captures the innocence and imagination of its protagonist, who believes his late father is soaring among angels. The atmosphere is tinged with a blend of nostalgia and melancholy, as Anton navigates his father's absence while obsessively constructing a full-scale airplane in their garage. While the performances are heartfelt, particularly that of the young lead, it's the small moments—like Anton’s interactions with his mother and his daydreams of flight—that really elevate the film. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing emotions to breathe and the themes of loss and hope to resonate deeply, creating a reflective viewing experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
