Imagination (film)

Imagination is a 2007 American avantgarde animatedlive action film, and the first feature length project directed by Eric Leiser, about young twin sisters who have Asperger syndrome.

Redheaded twins Anna Nikki Haddad and Sarah Jessi Haddad Woodruff, roughlyoryears old, both have Asperger, an autism spectrum disorder ASD, and Sarah is going blind. Child psychologist and researcher Dr. Reineger Edmund Gildersleeve tries to assure their parents Courtney Sanford, Travis Poelle that the kids are smart and intricately involved in their own imagination. The children enter an institute to be studied, two family tragedies occur, and the girls escape the institution. Throughout much of the film, we see a magical, distorted world through their eyes.Frank Lovece of Film Journal International found this sad and hypnotic tale a film that well evokes the trauma, abandonment fears and magical reality of childhood, and that the film sweeps us through an array of gently bizarre beasties, times and places, such as a primordial forest where the white elms are covered with eyes. The most amazing sequence involves an earthquake evinced solely through shaky camera, sound effects, stopmotion dirt and rocks and rapidfire cuts. ........
