What? (2021)
66KWhat? (2021). What?: Directed by Alek Lev. With John Maucere, Josh Breslow, Josep Daniel Rosello, Marina Longares Escrichs. WHAT? is a black and white, silent (and signing) comedy about a struggling deaf actor, sick of agreeing to increasingly humiliating tasks just to get a role, who decides to take matters into his own – hands.
“What? Is a remarkable film. It is supremely entertaining, funny, and thoughtful, but it is also brilliant cinema. I make a point of calling this movie u0026quot;cinemau0026quot; because director Alek Lev has made a love letter to Hollywoodu0026#39;s silent era while keeping it contemporary, fresh and entertaining. There is not one filmmaking element that the makers of u0026quot;What?u0026quot; did not use the fullest degree; cinematography, soundtrack, production design, and of course the brilliant acting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd thereu0026#39;s one more thing. What? Conveys a sober yet heartening message of inclusion for the deaf community, but it is so entertaining that it isnu0026#39;t a message movie. Itu0026#39;s cinema at its best!”
