To appreciate such mature subject matter, you have to have lived a little. Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent were a winning combination as the central characters, husband and wife, dealing with that dreaded disease, Alzheimer's. While it is she that suffers from it, it is his painful struggle that is front and centre. It is primarily for him that we grieve. If Mr. Pinsent were an American, I would be predicting an Oscar for him as Best Actor. It has been many years since I've seen Julie Christie in a film and she did not disappoint. With her elegance, sophistication and sensitivity she is a rivetting presence on the big screen. Too bad that she hasn't acted in many films as, say, Judi Dench or Maggie Smith, because she is as powerful and as accomplished as they are.
