A Moment of innocence

This was the second time that I've seen the film and I will admit I was pretty excited to see it again. I was anticipating the parts that I remembered but I was surprised numerous times about the funny bits I'd forgotten.
I had forgotten about the parts where it seems to switch back and forth between the film we are actually watching and the one that's being made in the film. That 2-film element is also part of the films overall appeal to me. It keeps the audience guessing through the blurring of realities as well as adds many awkward opportunities.
Makhmalbalf has a wonderful sense of humor: it's family friendly but not so much to where it still draws good laughs. The nervous guy with the unibrow had a face that was comical even though the timing of a lot of the jokes is off because of the reading-the-subtitle delay. Most of the memorable gags were visual and much easier to absorb quickly.
Knowing that the story of the police man is actually true gave the movie a much more emotional feel. I like knowing that a movie is based on something that happened in the filmmakers life since I feel they would have a much deeper vision in this over any other subject.
