Sundance's "Away From Her"
Hi There
I was wondering who might have been able to catch "Away From Her" at your local indie theatre. The trailer can be seen on my profile page.
The Washington Post wrote the following of the film:(Unlocked Memories, 5/11/07)
"When did you fall in love with her?
Was it "Dr. Zhivago"? "Darling"? "Shampoo"?
On every continent, in every language, anywhere there was a dark room, a strip of celluloid and a light bulb, part of what it meant to go to the movies over the past 50 years has been to fall in love with Julie Christie. She's the female corollary to what they always said about James Bond (or was it Steve McQueen?): Men want to be with her, women want to be her.
And it still holds true, as Christie proves in the exquisite, closely observed "Away From Her," a quietly shattering portrait of a marriage in which she delivers yet another incandescent star turn. As a woman in the early throes of Alzheimer's, Christie proves yet again that she's an actress not just of supreme physical beauty but finely tuned sensitivity."

This is one of the best films this year and ironically directed by 28 year old Sarah Polley. Rarely has love at any age been depicted so honestly on screen.
