My Left Foot
1989movieWaarom kijken
It features one of the most astonishing, transformative lead performances in cinema history, with Daniel Day-Lewis embodying Irish writer and painter Christy Brown. Grounded by Brenda Fricker's tender supporting role, the film avoids maudlin sentimentality by portraying Christy as a fully dimensional, fiercely witty, and sometimes difficult human being rather than an idealized symbol.
