Fridayfilm // week 39
A long goodbye.
Everyone around him is affected when his cognitive abilities fail him. This week's Friday film is a melancholic and moving psychological drama about aging and family ties.
Anthony must, at the age of 81, and with failing health, realize that he can no longer manage on his own. But he is reluctant to let go of his life and his apartment, and his daughter Anne must put her own life on hold.
What happens to Anthony in this process? And how does Anne shift from caring daughter to fulltime carer?
The film is based on Florian Zeller's Le Père. It was nominated for six Oscars and won Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins' part as the aging and demented Anthony. The brilliant Olivia Colman plays his daughter Anne.
