Abstract

‘The Father’, a film directed by Florian Zeller, is adapted from its drama of the same name, which shows the change of mental time of an old man with Alzheimer’s disease. The narrative of the film belongs to a complicated combination mode of segments, in which we witnessed the change of the psychological perspective of Anthony, and at the same time, this change had an impact on the time narrative of the film. The narrative time of ‘The Father’ can be divided into three types: psychological time, space time and nonlinear film narrative time. The transition from psychological time to space time is a process in which the father Anthony gradually realizes the truth behind it, and the nonlinear time narrative of the film itself reflects the originality of director Zeiler. Through the chaotic fragments of time and space, this film reproduces the illusory images in the minds of Alzheimer’s patients. When the complete time narrative chain is reconstructed, the unbearable lightness in the life of Alzheimer’s patients is exposed.
