Here is a new Canadian film starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent. It is the story of a Fiona and Grant, who have been married for 45 years. They learn that Fiona has Alzheimer. She choses to check herself into a hospice. Grant is devastated and has a hard time dealing with her detaching herself from him…
It is not a feel good movie, it offers no solutions, it is simply an open window on a too familiar tragedy. It is extraordinarily played…and yes Julie Christie is still beautiful, even as an old woman.
