this film was a nice departure from the normal hollywood fare . no explosions , no car chases , just a great presentation of an original script . multi - dimensional characters and a helm well manned by alison mason make this a very rewarding view .
well written and directed . the story depicts believable situations in life today that never make the daily news . they do exist and , in life , it is not what you do per se , it is how well you deal with it and the personal growth from the experience .
saw this movie at sagatuck film festival and had to own it . it was awesome ! if you ever knew an older person with memory loss this will give you more insight .
reviewed clips awesome ! absolutely touching . if anyone has to face family members memory loss they will appreciate and love this movie ! ordered and can ' t wait .
this film is a revelation . . . i have wondered for years what it must be like to experience memory loss and still live in a world that very much centers around what you are learning , what you have learned and what you remember . alison mason has managed to show nuances of this terrifying condition that make me believe there is hope , and quite a bit of beauty , in the struggle to maintain some sense of order , continuity and attachment in each single day ' s worth of living . sensitive actors , realistic setting and interesting use of flashback . let this film find its way to your heart . you won ' t regret it .
this is a beautiful movie that moves slowly but deliberately into the heart ' s territory . loss , love , loneliness , connection , healing , nature , and redemption . a gem . paul paige ' s music at the end is an added bonus .

' on your tv or mobile device at home ? tracking down a streaming service to buy , rent , download , or view the alison mason - directed movie via subscription can be confusing , so we here at moviefone want to do the work for you .
the movie has a runtime of about 1 hr 10 min , and received a score of ( out of 100 ) on metacritic , which assembled reviews from top critics .
interested in knowing what the movie ' s about ? here ' s the plot :
the lives of a girl , an elderly woman and a young man intersect and forces each of them to find their place in the world .
alzheimer ' s disease radically interferes with a person ' s life . scientists and health care professionals have done much to gather information and to offer support .
hollywood has responded as well . filmmakers have already portrayed alzheimer ' s disease or other causes for dementia * in a number of films in this century . [ see this post about the terminology change favoring neurocognitive disorder over dementia . ]
here are summaries and links to trailers for some of the films i ' ve found with a list of the others at the end of this post .
, but some of the behaviors and symptoms are similar , so the film depictions may help family members process their feelings nonetheless .
most of the films below are feature films and not documentaries . i ' m trying to emphasize the contribution that artists make to better responding to the challenges and opportunities presented by dementia . nevertheless , documentaries also require a view from the humanities more than from the sciences , so i have a few in the mix .
i found all of these films on netflix ( except the first one , still in theaters ) .
ian mckellen plays sherlock holmes as a man who lived beyond the pages of the stories . set in 1947 , the film finds the detective retired and reviewing his last case from 30 years prior . watch him use every trick for improving his failing memory and every device for uncovering clues . can this world - famous detective revise his legacy in time to transmit it to the rising generation ?
shows a university professor and her family adjusting to her diagnosis and clinical symptoms of early onset alzheimer ' s disease . the theme of identity through work threatening identity through relationships is strong .
nicolas cage stars as evan lake , a cia agent who receives a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia ( ftd ) . he has an old score to settle , but the angry outburst of ftd cost him his job . he goes rogue and vows to do his best to bring a foe to justice - - despite increasing problems with his memory .
a documentary that depicts campbell ' s life with alzheimer ' s disease ( ad ) from the time of his diagnosis through his farewell tour . the docu shows his family and entourage showing him a lot of support while interspersing footage of his life and career in music , film and television . several musicians comment on his talent and explain how ad has affected their family , too .
this documentary shows footage of persons with dementia responding well to music . however , this work is contexualized by interviews with dan cohen , founder of music and memory as well as interviews with caregivers , health care providers , dementia advocates and scientists . trailer .
. james cromwell stars as a man in his 80s who is focused on building an appropriate home for his wife of 63 years ( played by genevieve bujold ) . she is experiencing memory problems that grow more severe . he not only has to battle his aging body but the local building inspector , his opinionated neighbor and his well - meaning but patronizing adult children .
retired jewel thief frank ( played by frank langella ) lives by himself and is having a few memory issues . his son brings him an electronic personal assistant - - a
. soon frank figures out a way to have the robot help him return to his old ways - - but not without complications .
this animated film shows newcomer emilio ( voiced by martin sheen in the english version ) learning how to adapt to life in a multi - level care center by his more acclimated roommate miguel ( voiced by george coe ) . both find it challenging to preserve their autonomy in the situation , and both try to figure out how to respond to emilio ' s advancing alzheimer ' s disease .
a short film starring elliot gould about two adult children trying to convince their aging parents to leave their home in order to move into assisted living . based on the director ' s experience with his own parents and filmed in his parents ' home . trailer .
with these films . yes , the film depicts caregiving challenges . but i excluded it because the wife had a series of strokes that resulted in mobility problems and aphasia . the film doesn ' t depict or discuss memory problems . ( and , i loathed the film , so
this film from iran doesn ' t use alzheimer ' s as the central conflict , but it plays a significant role . a couple is separating and considering a divorce . the husband ' s father has alzheimer ' s and requires a caregiver . the adult son hires a woman caregiver , setting of a series of conflicts that grow more and more complex as the film progresses .
) in her final years . thatcher ( played by meryl streep ) reminisces about her past through conversations with her beloved late husband denis ( played by jim broadbent ) .
a french film featuring an ensemble cast of seasoned actors ( including american actresses jane fonda and geraldine chaplin ) . when health and memory problems plague a few of the members , they decide to live together - - then complexities emerge .
winner of best screenplay at the cannes for its year , this film from s . korea dwells very little on the character ' s new diagnosis of alzheimer ' s . the conflict focuses more on the misdeeds of her grandson . however , she has compounding limitations when trying to marshal resources in response . i have a feeling that the diagnosis contributed to the film ' s ending , but it ' s only implied .
only about the last 30 minutes of this 134 minute film depicts the main character living with dementia . the bulk of the movie is a life review of a jewish canadian television producer who has many flaws but somehow remains lovable .
or for viewing on a 3 dvd set . the episodes include footage of several family members as they address a loved one ' s trajectory through ad .
artist robert malone ( played by martin landau ) meets a lovely woman his age named mary ( played by ellen burstyn ) for the first half of the film , you watch him stumble through asking her on some dates and meeting her family . as the film progresses , you learn that alzheimer ' s disease threatens the relationship and causes chaos for them both .
matthew broderick stars as cooper , a young newspaper editor who recently suffered a concussion at the hands of a co - worker . he ' s still having trouble regaining his memory when his mother asks him to come home from chicago to southern illinois to help manage his alzheimer ' s disease - stricken uncle , played by alan alda .
laura linney and philip seymour hoffman star as siblings wendy and jon who reconnect with their father when he starts having serious memory problems . jon quickly concludes that they can ' t care for him themselves , but wendy is ambivalent . they film focuses on the adult children ' s response with very little screen time for the father .
shows how isolating alzheimer ' s disease can be for the caregiving spouse . in early stages of the disease , the person with the diagnosis usually struggles much with anxiety and depression . in late stage , it ' s the spouse who struggles more to relate to a person who no longer remembers them .
donald sutherland plays a supporting role as a grandfather with parkinson ' s disease and a growing case of dementia . his increased dependency presents challenges for his wife , his grandson but primarily for himself as he struggles with depression and suicidal ideation . the film ' s point of view is the nephew ' s .
the frame - tale of this film shows a mature woman in an assisted - living center receiving a visitor who tells her stories from decades prior . the bulk of the film consists of flashbacks about a young couple in their teens / twenties . but the ending brings alzheimer ' s to the foreground , but only for a few minutes .
this pbs documentary is based on david shank ' s 1999 book of the same name . the television program contains interviews of three families about the impact of alzheimer ' s disease on the person affected as well as the family relationships . david hyde pierce leads a town hall type discussion in the last 30 minutes of this 90 minute program .
this dutch - language film focuses more on the thrill of the chase than on dementia . two police officers are trying to capture a hit man who is suffering from dementia . the criminal ' s memory problems only affect a couple of scenes , and it ' s not a realistic depiction of alzheimer ' s disease . but it ' s fun to see the 57 year old actor playing the lead .
, the film spans decades , so it ' s not solely about the way alzheimer ' s disease changed their relationship . wonderful performances by kate winslet as the younger iris , judi dench as the mature iris , and jim broadbent as the mature john bayley .
a swedish film with subtitles about a composer and violinist who marry later in life . a few years into their marriage , he is diagnosed with alzheimer ' s disease . the film shows his progression from early stage through mid - stage to late stage dementia and the wive ' s struggle to keep her marriage vows as he moves further and further away from her .
this japanese coming - of - age film focuses on a 17 - year - old girl whose parents ' poor behavior rattles her , but she meets an older woman who is living with dementia . the teen is strengthened by forging a friendship with the mature woman and hearing her talk about her adventures in the 1940s .
hume cronyn stars as john cooper the anti - hero in this play - turned - film about a widower pushing back hard against the realities of aging . he lives in an assisted living center where he jokes around with his best friend michael aylott ( vincent gardenia ) . over a series of a few weeks , marked by sunday visits by his daughter , cooper ' s tenacious grip on life starts to loosen .
. robert young stars as roswell gilbert , a 75 year old man who shoots his wife emily of 51 years because she is suffering from osteoporosis and alzheimer ' s disease . this film was released when gilbert was still serving time . however , he ended up getting a pardon from the governor of florida and then admitted that his act was wrong , even though during his trial , he insists there was no other way for him to help his ailing wife .
. hume cronyn and jessica tandy play two of the five residents of a doomed apartment building . little alien robots come to their aid . tandy plays a person with memory issues . however , her behavior has more to do about propelling the plot and creating tension / growth with other characters than it does about portraying dementia accurately .
thanks to swapna kishore ( caregiver and blogger focusing on caregiving in india ) for the blog post with information about indian movies about dementia / alzheimer ' s disease .
updated 10 / 13 / 15 : i found a youtube channel with a variety of videos ( clips , trailers , tv programs , documentaries ) on dementia . i haven ' t viewed these yet , but i ' m putting the link here to save it .
if you have others to recommend or if you want to suggest which of the films in the list above i should see next , please leave a comment .
i’m giving you my oscar pick for healthcare - related film of the year . posted on february 18 , 2013 by lisa suennen aging in place w / robot & frank , the movie via @ venturevalkyrie urltoken gerijoy @ gerijoytech gerijoy compared similarly : urltoken
the notebook is such a fan - favorite , that you might want to start there . thank you for compiling the clips and list .
such tender moments between the mature couple in that film . thanks for your recommendation .
i can ' t say that i
liked
amour , but i can say that it ' s thought - provoking and initiates important conversations about caregiver burden and the ravages of stroke ( which was the cause of the wive ' s aphasia and mobility problems ) . sobering .
thanks for compiling this list , karen ! my husband and i produced the independent alzheimer ' s drama angel ' s perch in 2013 ; it had a theatrical run last year and is currently available on itunes , amazon , and vudu , and will be on hulu this summer . www . angelsperch . com . we look forward to hearing your thoughts !
great post ! seems like so many movies have done a fairly accurate job of depicting alzheimers and other diseases .
the notebook ! < 3 i ' m a big fan of that movie . , ever .
karen your blog is awesome and i am so happy to see the work you have been doing ! please keep it up . i look forward to following your work . with love from canada < 3
canada in the house ! thanks for visiting the blog . enjoy the beauties of autumn afforded in your corner of the world .
wow , karen , thank you for this list ! it ' s comprehensive . . . yes , in
the notebook ,
gena rowlands ' character has dementia . . .
what a comprehensive list ! . i have an addition , an indie film that actually depicts everyday couples facing alzheimer ' s . the film is
the sum total of our memory ( www . thesumtotalmovie . com ) . i like this film , available on the website , because it features people already affected with alz . the filmmaker , barbara klutinis made this film after meeting these couples in an alz support group in san francisco . her husband has alz . hear what actual people have to say about this disease .
memento is an interesting film . not alzheimer ' s but memory loss . having viewed it years ago , it seems a poignant portrait of a person struggling with a loss of memory . even though it ' s actually an intellectual suspense thriller .
great connection ! i ' ve seen momento , but i didn ' t think through the shared themes . i love psychological thrillers , and i like films that explore issues of cognition ( like awakenings ) . very thought provoking comment . kda
help . . i saw a movie on dvd where a man with alzheimers / dementia , and i forgot the name of it . a man has driven his car into his garage door . he doesn ' t remember his wife , except for a second near the end . his wife has to sneak in the house to replace his meds . does anyone know this movie ?
spoiler alert : the one your describing is
lovely still
( 2008 ) , listed above , but i don ' t describe it in detail because i ' m avoiding spoilers . the director has the viewers take the man ' s viewpoint where the relationships are unclear to him ( and hence to us ) until that brief moment of recognition .
thank you , thank you , thank you ! i just found this site again last week . ( i forgot to make a note of it ) i requested the movie from the library and : ) it was the one i have been looking for over 2 yrs . i just finished watching it . the only parts i could remember were the ones i had mentioned in 2016 , and of course that i loved it . i ' m writing this site in a journal and hope that if any other good movies come to mind or are written . . . you will list them here . i don ' t have alzheimers but my short term memory . . . thank you again
what is the movie in which the aging wife wanders off because of dementia and the aging husband keeps trying to find her ? the husband becomes so distraught that the house becomes very cluttered and dirty , and is even visited by a social worker . i ' ve seen it but don ' t remember the title or any more details . it ' s similar to lovely still but more pronounced and it ' s the wife with dementia .
that might be _ away from her _ , but i haven ' t seen it for a while . the wife is the one with ad in that one , and she does get lost , but i don ' t have a clear memory of the social worker visit ( since i haven ' t seen it since it first came out in 2006 ) . maybe it ' s time for me to watch that one again !
i watched the trailer for away from her , and that ' s not the one i ' m looking for , but it does look good .
there ' s a marathi ( one of the many languages in india ) film called
astu
( so be it ) that i recently saw . worth watching . of course with subtitles .

as a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway , i stumbled upon course hero , where i can find study resources for nearly all my courses , get online help from tutors 24 / 7 , and even share my old projects , papers , and lecture notes with other students .
i cannot even describe how much course hero helped me this summer . it’s truly become something i can always rely on and help me . in the end , i was not only able to survive summer classes , but i was able to thrive thanks to course hero .
the ability to access any university’s resources through course hero proved invaluable in my case . i was behind on tulane coursework and actually used ucla’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time .

the great consoler was done extremely efficiently and did not exceed the budget . the picture was filmed in forty days ; editing and soundtrack were completed in sixteen days . the cinematography was done using soviet manufactured film stock . kuleshov when making the film , relied heavily on rehearsals , making sure that the actors would totally replicate the results on screen .

there was this little girl ' s face in a passing stroller . . . a thick streaking tear lay on her left cheek . except , her facial expression was now one of utter calm . her eyes were wide with expanse , the great consoler had already dissolved her little problem .
the great consoler ( lev kuleshov , 1933 ) this is a forgotten masterpiece , a landmark of cinema in term of narrative . it is hard to believe a film so fresh could had been made in the 30s . the great consoler is based on two short story by o’henry told three times , once as a realistic and gritty narrative within the film that take part in the real life of o’henry when he was in prison , the second a fictional and lighthearted comedy / adventure / western / gangster in the style of the hollywood filmmaking that reflect the early short story’s of o’henry , and the third is almost the dark side of o’henry that later he became , the real and gloomy side of life that he struggles to achieves in his work .

the great consoler was based on the life of the american writer o . henry , with a fictionalized narrative of the writer’s struggles with the concept of social obligation in creating art . the film was created at the dawn of the era of socialist realism and drew unwanted attention from the congress due to it subject matter . kuleshov had long had a difficult time creating films with american subject matter , including t he extraordinary adventures of mr . west in the land of the bolsheviks and the death ray , and this film spelled the end of his feature filmmaking career .

an ugly , grim , uncompromising and ultimately powerful film , lev kuleshov ' s the great consoler overcomes surface aesthetic crudeness with a richly complex meta - narrative structure in which hard questions are posed about the prison of compromises that undermine our dignity and worth , as well as the challenges artists face in the struggle for justice , authenticity and self - realization . the movie is a curiosity not just among soviet films but in all of film history . it is not a fun watch , often abrasive and unpleasant , and its hopeless world is a spartan grey one of unremitting cruelty and predation . it took me two views to get beyond my initial distaste for it , but on the second go…
isn’t the season of lent a great time and season to fall in love with god ? and isn’t this what the life of a disciple is meant to be , a love relationship with god , our father , who has given us everything ; with jesus , our savior who has given his life away for us ; with the holy spirit the great consoler and healer ? i wonder how many are deeply in love with the lord , where he is the focus of their whole life . i know that god is deeply in love with each of us and desires us , more than we can possibly imagine . jean corbon wrote in the the wellspring of worship , “the most fruitful activity of the human person is to be able to receive god . ” god created us for union . this is what the eucharist is about — receiving the deep love of god in christ jesus . it is he who offers us this abundant life . jesus said , “i came so that you might have life and have it more abundantly , ” ( john 10 : 10 ) and not “i came so that you may cope with life . ”

the knowledge of truth is an abiding consolation . when all else fails , the truth does not fail . when a heart is desolate , and the world affords no shelter , truth provides a peaceful refuge and a quiet rest . the cares of life are many , and its path is beset with difficulties ; but truth is greater than care , and is superior to all difficulties . truth lightens our burdens ; it lights up our pathway with the radiance of joy . loved ones pass away , friends fail , and possessions disappear . where then is the voice of comfort ? where is the whisper of consolation ? truth is the comforter of the comfortless , and the consoler of them that are deserted . truth does not pass away , nor fail , nor disappear . truth bestows the consolation of abiding peace . troubles come to all . even the wise cannot escape them . but the wise have a sure and safe refuge in the eternal good . they have a comforter , even truth , who removes the sting from affliction , and disperses the clouds of trouble . night descends upon the pure as upon the impure ; but it holds no terrors for the pure , for the light of truth shines in the darkness with assuring radiance . sweet is the sleep of the innocent . and they that rest upon the bosom of truth repose in peace . day lights up the way both of the wise and the foolish ; but the foolish are enveloped with the darkness of error , they stumble and are bruised , and have no comforter . but the wise walk in the light of truth ; and should they stumble they are lifted up ; lo ! they are healed and comforted . they that have the knowledge of truth have the satisfaction of peace . they are not immune from the vicissitudes of life ; they are not released from the cares and responsibilities of worldly duties ; they are not unassailed by external foes ; but they are restful at heart ; their minds abide in the great calm .

the opening sequence in the edge of love starts from a static close - up of vera phillips singing a melancholy song with the camera then slowly pulled back , to reveal the tunnel where her performance takes place . it’s a successful example of establishing the tone of the film as well as introducing the protagonist while also providing essential information about the time and the period . additionally , the static close - up at the beginning helps to hook the audience’s interest by creating a mysterious atmosphere . likewise , a dolly shot was planned , starting from a static close - up of the graveyard on a tv screen , with the camera then pulled back to reveal the lit candles , the picture of the dead boy , and three sisters sitting in a row on the sofa in a gloomy living room .
the worldly - minded have no comforter ; but if they forsake the world , and fly to truth , they will receive the sweet gift of consolation the world is the place of pleasure and pain ; the truth is the abode of joy and peace . they that relinquish the excitements and dissatisfactions of the world for the sake of truth , will find an unfailing companion and friend , even the eternal . distress is in the world . yea , grief and sorrow abound . but the truth is calm ; it allays grief , and soothes away all sorrow . hear ye the lamentations of the world ! wilder are they than the tempest ; deeper than the ocean’s roar . truth alone can still the tempests of passion and the storms of grief . come ye up into the calm . resort ye to the great silence . men are swept along by the force of turbulent passions ; but when , sorrow arrests them they cry out in anguish . love of worldly pleasure has brought them low , and the world can offer them no comfort . the world distresses , but the truth consoles . they whom the world has destroyed and deserted , who are cast down by pain and sorrow , even they are befriended by the truth when they turn to truth . none are despised by truth ; none are turned away ; none are left comfortless . ye that are weary with pleasure - seeking ; ye that are pain - stricken ; ye that are lonely and desolate– come ye to the truth . the truth is above pleasure and pain . be ye lifted up ; be ye rested ; be ye healed ; be ye befriended and comforted .

is embedded in the structure of the movie : it starts with the moment when the author begins writing it , it ends with the moment when dulcie arrives at the end of it . so it is flowing between the two parallel plots of the movie , and it is made as a silent film ( all the rest being sound movie - an exquisite cinematic choice : the epoch of sound paying here an accolade for the silent ! ) . the story comes as based on a real case from prison , only exactly opposite : what happens in real life is that one of the inmates is ordered to break a safe where some documents got locked by accident . apparently he hopes to be freed after that , but instead he is brought back to jail , where he soon dies . the writer had changed the outcome just to cheer up his readers !

- in an article in the new york times ( “the condemned art of soviet filmmakers” , published on 13th october 2011 ) , journalist dave kehr states that “for a time in the mid - to - late 1920s , the art of the cinema meant only one thing to the serious - minded film critics of america and europe : soviet - style montage , or the art of cutting shots together in a way that would produce ideas and emotions beyond those expressed in the images” ( kehr 2011 , p . 6 ) . this opening paragraph effectively sums up the integral role some soviet filmmakers played in the development of cinema and in particular the art of editing . . . .

true heart susie ( d . w . griffith , 1919 ) a favorite of both rivette and rohmer , true heart susie is one of the best work of griffith and a forgotten masterpiece from the silent era . a story about innocent love and sacrifice that almost a century later still has the power to move us emotionally . lillian gish’s sensitive and beautiful performance is among the best of the silent era . it is a simple story about two simple people in a simple town , full of simple events , that could describe the whole cinema of rivette and rohmer , no wonder they admired the film so much . the first inter - title of the film tell the viewer that the film is made of everyday incidents . griffith never force or try to manipulate the audience , rather he take his time with slow pace story telling , simple set - ups , cross - cutting and subtle acting , he manages to build up emotions and bring the audience to the edges of tears .
is kind of a modern morality , one of those nice stories that are fit for christmas period : a safecracker is released from prison and what follows is that a few banks around are robbed . naturally he is the first suspect and a detective is on his traces . meanwhile the guy falls in love for a rich banker ' s daughter and decides to become a honest citizen . when everything seems to turn finally well , an accident happens with the banker ' s granddaughter : she gets trapped inside the bank ' s new safe and someone has to break the locks . a dramatic dilemma for our ex - robber : if he opens the safe , everybody will realize who he really is ( or rather who he was ) ; if not , the little girl will die suffocated inside the thing . add to all this that the detective is also there , waiting for the outcome . the guy takes the noble choice and breaks the locks , saving the girl . then he gives himself up to the detective . fortunately this one also changed himself into a nice person , so nobody gets harmed and everybody ' s happy . the thing is that the words and sentences are put in such a way that you can read the story in two different keys : a nice tale to emphasize all that ' s good and noble , or a grotesque farce where each player mocks the public and impersonates just the opposite of who he really is ( probably the reading key you choose depends on your mood ) .
- since the creation of films , their main goal was to appeal to mass audiences . however , once , the viewer looks past the appearance of films , the viewer realizes that the all - important purpose of films is to serve as a bridge connecting countries , cultures , and languages . this is because if you compare any two films that are from a foreign country or spoken in another language , there is the possibility of a connection between the two because of the fact that they have a universally understanding or interpretation . . . .

he who clings to his delusions , loving self and sin , he cannot find the truth , cannot receive the consolation of truth . all that demeans and defiles must be abandoned . truth is not found if the love of self is not renounced . they who lie or deceive ; who hate or envy ; who lust or covet ; who think only of their own pleasure ; whose aims are for self and the glory of self in all that they do , – from such truth is hidden by a veil of darkness , even they thick veil of error ; from such the consolation of truth is withheld because they seek for self only , and not for truth . they who are truthful and sincere ; who love men and rejoice in their success ; who are pure and generous ; who seek the good of others in all that they do , – to them truth is revealed ; such stand face to face with good , and receive the consolation of truth . the foolish seek satisfaction in sensual pleasures ; the vain are pleased with the flatteries of the world ; the one leads to misery and emptiness ; the other to disappointment and humiliation . the wise abide in the joy of truth ; and there are no pitfalls for the humble , their feet are steadfast in the way of peace . we have cancelled our compact with the world . its pleasures are put away , abandoned , renounced . we perform the necessary uses of the world , but we no longer rest upon its forms , no more seek satisfaction in its thirsty desires . our hearts are set upon the good of all . thus have we found the abiding sweetness of religion . we have found a quiet trust and a patient happiness . we have resorted to the faithful one , the ever - present comforter , even the spirit of holiness . we have taken shelter in his high abode . and no temptation shall draw us back into the tempestuous ways of the world , for our refuge is a refuge indeed .

the kind of idealistic commitment typical of the early twentieth - century russian intelligentsia . later in her memoirs she wrote that working in cinema was for her “the most important thing in life” ( kuleshov and khokhlova 1975 , 62 ) . perhaps this commitment fortified her against the daunting challenges of soviet state cinema work
a time for dying ( budd boetticher , 1969 ) every film that i had seen so far by boetticher has been a masterpiece and a time for dying is no different . under 70 minutes , it is a film that one wished never to end and when it does we are left with a sadness and a nostalgia for the loss the two characters that are both doomed at the end of the film , the two that we laugh so much with and fall in love . this was boetticher’s last film , a film about a man that we spent all the film with and at the end we don’t even know who he was . the old west is a cruel one , the good loses and evil triumph , and memory erases the trace of those who were good and the few that become legend are not all that nice .

konstantin stanislavsky , director of the moscow art theater and close friend of aleksandra’s parents ( 1975 , 54 ) . stanislavsky taught how to approach the actor’s work as a search for authenticity , for ways to convey the irreducible complexity of the character’s inner world . alexandra’s relationship with the stanislavsky school , however , is often overlooked because her career as a film actress evolved under the banner of soviet avant - garde , which cut ties with established theater traditions . yet , kuleshov’s desire to revolutionize cinema was fueled by the same hatred of stage clichés and bad acting that compelled stanislavsky to search for new forms in the theater . echoing her husband’s disdain for the histrionic acting in film dramas of the past , aleksandra wrote : “i absolutely agree with stanislavsky , who said that the best film actors are animals ; they move in a way that pertains to them
though , let me tell you this : for committing a murder , one gets a punishment here on earth , plus it could be some circumstances , while for exploiting the workers one is praised here on earth , there is a whole bunch of idiotic yesmen and sycophants who praise the exploiters and blame the exploited , so at least make the fucking bondsman punished sometime at the end of time .
non , ou a vã glória de mandar ( manoel de oliveira , 1990 ) a mix between bitter victory and alexander nevsky . the story is set among a group of portuguese soldiering during portuguese colonial war ( 1961 - 1974 ) in africa , among the group is luís miguel cintra , a pessimistic soldier who tells the other about the sad history of failure and colonization of portugal , the film is like a fable / thatrical narrative , at times actors takes the roles of historical figures in their stories and talks to the audience directly . it is anti - war film because it deals with the failures of war rather than the glory of it . a mix of fantasy , realism , naturalism and surrealism imagery .
khokhlova has , of course , a talent for acting that is perhaps the only one of its kind that is worthy of serious mention…america is possessed by the ideal of the petty - bourgeois “ bathing girl . ” [ … ] khokhlova frustrates that ideal . the firm grip of her toothy grin shreds the hackneyed formula of ‘the woman of the screen = the woman of the bedroom . ’ [ … ] khokhlova can create an entirely new genre…khokhlova has to be provided with sharply soviet roles and a proper interpretation to match her essential qualities . firmly rejecting demonic women , adventuresses and the rest , i would plait her hair , dress her in a sarafan and release a cycle of grotesque comedies on a “town and country” theme with a screen’s first female eccentric–khokhlova… ( 2010 , 71 - 72 ) .
