A retired college professor finds his life turned up side down after reading a post on the internet.
This is an award winning film about memory, ageing and death. Drifting in and out of memory and delusion the film keeps the viewer as untethered with what is doing on just like the man in it's center. It is a film with a great deal on its mind.
To be honest this film didn't work for me. Intellectually I knew what it was doing but emotionally I remained distant. It's black and white images and very deliberate presentation kept me outside of the films emotional bubble. I never felt anything because I was feeling manipulated.
Don't get me wrong it's a good film, but I don't see the greatness.
