I thought it
was absolutely wonderful.
It’s a film about love
and death and about a couple in their 80s. Their lives are fundamentally
changed when the wife (exquisitely played by Emmanuelle Riva) suffers a series
of strokes and her husband (played by Jean-Louis Trintignant – a most amazing
actor) cares for her.
I cannot commend this film highly enough.
At times, I found
it difficult to watch (perhaps this has something to do with me being in my
mid-60s!) and yet I was completely captivated.
It has huge dignity; it’s devastatingly
painful; sensitive; graceful; beautiful; agonisingly poignant; disturbing… and
simply LOVELY.
