Forgot I Was Afraid

About This Movie

So, 'Forgot I Was Afraid'—it’s an interesting piece, really. Bruno's journey is set against this stark black and white backdrop, which really accentuates his struggle with color and his phobia. The film has this subdued, almost haunting atmosphere that pulls you in, and his rediscovery of colors, particularly that fruit basket scene, it hits hard. The pacing is somewhat meditative, letting you soak in his emotional turmoil without rushing through it. The practical effects tied to his fear of color are handled with a certain subtlety, adding to the tension. Performances are solid; you can feel Bruno’s internal battle. It’s a unique take on romance, exploring deeper themes of fear and acceptance. Definitely not your typical love story.
