Synopsis(from IMDb):
Three key moments, all of them sensual, define Ana's life. Her carnal search sways between reality and colored fantasies becoming more and more oppressive. A black laced hand prevents her from screaming. The wind lifts her dress and caresses her thighs. A razor blade brushes her skin, where will this chaotic and carnivorous journey leave her?
Amer shares connections with many of the identity topics that were formulated during the first week among these coming of age and family. How are these topics combined with the overall of theme of violence that is dominant throughout the film?
To me, Amer is kind of complicated movie to discuss.(To be honest, it took me 2 days to watch the whole movie and I might watch it half way if it is not for the assignment) Amer is a movie that need you to pay attention to the visual and the dialogue is barely used in this movie.

Amer shows the life of Ana through childhood, adolescent and
adulthood. During the first part, we can see Ana is so curious about her life. She
is curious of everything that happened around her. She wants to know them. This
curiosity leads to her discovery of identity and her desired.
She is peeping through the keyhole to see things that happened outside her room. Not only that she also been
watched by ‘the eye’ through the keyhole.
In her adolescent year, she has
been subjected for male gaze. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, she is proud
and love been gazed. Here we can see how her identity develop to become a woman
that has a sexual desired, the desired of being wanted.
In her adulthood, Ana has grown up
to be an attractive woman. In the cab, she fantasized herself and I think this
scene shows her sexuality has matured, shows how she really appreciate her
feeling.
The theme of violence shows at the
first and last part of the movie. Watching the whole movie makes me feel that
actually Ana is just paranoid with her life. She was exposed to an extreme
experience of being haunted during her childhood. This experience has caused her to be someone who fantasized a lot and live in a fantasy world that she created. The hands with black gloves that kills the taxi driver are actually her hands. And because of that traumatic feeling, she committed suicide at the end of the movie.
