Children of a Lesser God (1986)
Country: US
Technical: col 110m
Director: Randa Haines
Cast: William Hurt, Marlee Matlin, Piper Laurie
Synopsis:
A speech therapist for the deaf falls in love with one of his patients.
Review:
Technically impressive and with committed performances (Hurt learnt sign language and Matlin is actually deaf), this nevertheless makes the mistake of settling down into an impossible love story when greater attention to the hero's actual work or an investigation into the common ground between sound and silence would have been preferable.
