Upcoming film inspired by tale of Arthur Miller, son
April 20th, 2009From the [UK] Telegraph:
Film director Pedro Almodovar says he got some of the inspiration for his new film, ‘Broken Embraces,’ from the revelation that playwright Arthur Miller committed his son to an institution. Miller’s son, Daniel, has Down syndrome.
“I think the story of Arthur Miller’s son is terrible,” says the Oscar-winning Spanish director.
“This boy with Down’s syndrome whom he never wanted to see and who, years later, becomes close to his father after a meeting to introduce himself. It’s breathtaking.”
… “I use the story to speak of those monstrous fathers who overwhelm their children,” adds Almodóvar.

I adore Pedro Almodovar and hope he can do justice to this subject and honor Daniel Miller’s dignity.
