A very famous actress in Brazil, Gloria Pires, played in Nise. Director Roberto Berliner put his 13 years efforts to produce the film. The building of the hospital and the artworks appeared in the film are genuineand. The acting of the actor who acted as patient is also wonderful.

Before Jean Dubuffet invented Art Brut, Nise is trying to Art Therapy with belief and foresight. We are moved by artistic expressions that make the unconsciousness come to the surface become visible. Art has always been a history that overturns “common sense” with the times. Is not we too caught in “common sense”? Can you not be afraid of the ”unconscious”?

Movie throws us questions of art, human nature, life, and human beings. Antonin Artaud (French poet)’s speech in Nise says “There are 10 thousand ways to do something with your life…” leave (me) impression. Human has unlimited possibilities and imagination.
