Away From Her Screening QuizTuesday, May 8 - 7:30pm Away From Her is the lyrical adaptation of Alice Munro's short story, The Bear Came Over The Mountain, a beautiful yet unconventional story of a couple coming to grips with the onset of memory loss. Beloved by critics and audiences alike when it premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, the film marks the arrival of an exciting new filmmaker Sarah Polley. Married for almost 50 years, Grant and Fiona are unwaveringly committed to each other. Their daily life is filled with tenderness and humor; yet this serenity is broken by Fiona's increasingly evident memory loss - and her restrained references to a past betrayal. For a while, the couple is able to casually dismiss these unwelcome changes. But when neither fiona nor her husband can deny any longer that she is being consumed by Alzheimer's disease, the couple is forced to wrenchingly redefine the limits of their love and loyalty - and face the complex, inevitable transition from lovers to strangers. This movie is rated PG-13. |
