3. Abel film review and interview with Diego Luna | Cine Outsider
9 jan 2011 · Limited in scope but not ambition, Abel is a film worthy of standing out amongst the current crop of January Oscar bait and deserving of finding ...
The painfully cute conceit of a nine-year-old boy taking on the paternal responsibility of an absentee father is the type of setup that necessitates a sure hand. Going into the screening, my jaded imaginings were of a children's fable undone by clumsily earnest fairytale nonsense, or the whimsically deranged, whack-job callisthenics of Tim Burton. Surprising then that the assured vision from behind the camera is courtesy of actor-turned director Diego Luna, who in his feature debut exhibits a command of tone that belies his inexperience. Showing that he knows what he's doing and how to get it done, Luna keeps a tight reign on the fantasy elements, telling his story with the same subdued surrealism that typifies the masterpieces of fellow countryman Luis Buñuel.*
