MAN OF CINEMA
A very tender and moving portrayal of coming of old age and accepting terms of
assisted living and the fading memories, as she contends with her conflicting relationship with herself and people around her, amidst her fading memory, age, identity, and desires.
Kathleen Chalfant gives a masterclass in the acting, such a moving performance. The film centres on a 88-year-old woman named Ruth.
The film brilliantly depicts the strange and unpredictable nature of the decline in cognitive function, which includes memory loss and difficulty with communication, affecting a person’s daily life and relationships.
The absence of a musical soundtrack or BGM also heightens the sombre atmosphere, especially in the most poignant scenes, where silence draws attention to the character’s emotions and actions.
It is a movie that is told with lots of heart, authenticity and care.
