Hear ye, gays and allies!
This month marks the tenth anniversary of the Brazilian coming-of-age rom-com The Way He Looks, written and directed by Daniel Ribeiro. Since its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2014, the film - and the short film that it was based on - has attracted warm response from viewers since. Released in Brazil on April 10, the film tells the story of a visually impaired high school student named Leonardo (Ghilherme Lobo) who befriends and later on becomes attracted to his new classmate Gabriel (Fábio Audi). It’s now heralded as one of the modern gems of queer cinema and rightfully so.
Given the event that we’re celebrating, I think this is an opportune time to finally put on the record how I came across this warm hug of a film...
