Newcomer Aria Mia Loberti Shines in Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See
When television is saturated with war coverage, it may be tempting to avoid scripted dramas about war. However, the new four-hour Netflix miniseries, All the Light We Cannot See, based on Anthony Doerr’s popular novel, is a captivating and uplifting exception. Amidst the darkness and horror of World War II, the “Light” in the title symbolizes hope. The series unfolds through various time periods and perspectives, converging towards a powerful climax.
The story centers around two young characters, Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and Werner, a German boy with a knack for radios. Marie-Laure finds solace in a shortwave radio broadcast by a mysterious host known as the Professor, which inspires her with messages of hope. Similarly, Werner intercepts the same broadcasts, his conscience conflicting with his Nazi duties. As the story progresses, the roles shift to older actors, with Werner tasked to hunt illegal radio operators and Marie-Laure and her father forced into a perilous journey as refugees.
Their paths eventually converge in the coastal town of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s uncle, a member of the French resistance, resides. As Marie-Laure uncovers the secret location of the Professor’s broadcasts, she decides to follow his footsteps, putting herself and her father in grave danger. The series masterfully portrays the internal struggles faced by characters like Werner, making it all the more compelling.
A standout performance comes from Aria Mia Loberti, a legally blind newcomer portraying Marie-Laure. This talented young actor brings depth and authenticity to her role, leaving viewers in awe of her abilities. The creators, Shawn Levy and Steven Knight, not only took on the challenge of adapting a complex story, but also discovered a remarkable talent in Loberti.
