(drama, romance)
Fiona and Grant are an Ontario couple who have been married for over 40 years. Now, in the oncoming twilight of their years, they are forced to face the fact that Fiona's "forgetfulness" actually is Alzheimer's Disease. After Fiona wanders away and is found after being lost, they agree she must go into a nursing home. For the first time in the five decades their relationship has spanned, they are forced to undergo a long-time separation since the nursing home has a "no-visitors" policy for the first 30 days of a patient's stay, so they can adjust to their new surroundings. When Grant visits Fiona after the orientation period, he is devastated to find out that not only has she seemingly forgotten him, Fiona has transferred her affections to another man. The other man is Aubrey, a wheelchair bound mute patient at the nursing home. As the distance between husband and wife grows, Grant must draw upon his love for Fiona to perform an act of self-sacrifice in order to ensure her happiness.

When it comes to "Far from Her," the excess, abused adjective
can not be avoided: is a great movie.
Sarah Polley's film front, he argues, moves, emotions;
you think and talk about it, remember the story and the characters indefinitely -
that could well serve as a dictionary definition of "great movie." All
terms of 27 years for the first time director!
You will see advertising and hear about "the one with Julie Christie
have Alzheimer's disease," but that describes "Far from it" not
better to say " ; Hamlet "is a man who can not make its mind.
Yes, Fiona, Christie's character, is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease
, but the actress - as beautiful as ever and the most
role - creates a complex, in figures, with good and bad moments
, with intelligence, heat, pain and regrets taking gracefully. The
prominent Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent is Grant, Fiona loving husband
the long and rich decades, albeit with its share of problems.
As the story develops, Grant and Fiona face the obvious, the inevitable, but
to the public, there is nothing obvious or inevitable about the way that
things happen. Polley is writing
Stoppardian in its complexity and brilliance - there is nothing here predigested and Hollywoodish,
only life and people as infinitely complex as the human brain. Even so
that deteriorates the brain - and the movie about this tragic process -
retains its surprises and wonders, and until the last scene of "Away
of her," you do not can sit back and assume you know what will happen. You do not
, the unpredictability of the film is one of its major assets.
Polley Add to the script (based on Alice Munro "The Bear came
Mountain") and addresses, Christie's magnificent Pinsent
Individually and acting together, sharing a treasure. Olympia Dukakis and Michael Murphy
play a couple whose lives are intertwined with unexpectedly
Grant and Fiona. Kristen Thomson steals all the scenes
directors as the head nurse at the institution where you will find Fiona;
warm, supportive, caring and totally wonderful, the nurse has a
rapid change in which shows another face and a different attitude - and
this slight "problem" makes the character even more real and sympathetic
.
"Far from it" is not a tragedy, is a drama, which moves and uplifts
. Includes charming and amusing moments, but even the humor has
depth. In one scene, as she was watching television news from Iraq, Alzheimer's disease patient
Fiona exclaims: "How could I forget that Vietnam?"
The fact that Fiona - "she" in the title - is played by Julie Christie
makes the painful path crystal clear. Julie Christie is a marvel
. She manages to us, without sentimentality, but with a
intelligence that makes a point on the deeply human story, to get
near the disease with sadness, but without fear. The
Alzheimer's disease is like a dark tunnel which the afflicted, without wishing to enter
, unable to avoid it. I asked what you want
be aware of this, I mean, knowing that sooner rather than later
you forget everything and everyone. Sarah Polley, the director, works a little miracle that
Julie Christie us here to answer that question.
I felt very close to Fiona's husband - a magnificent performance by
Gordon Pinsent - and left lifted the experience rather than
depressed.
