A pair of elderly homosexuals, one is a writer and the other is a pianist, their choice when the writer suffered from early Alzheimer's.
I didn't choose similar themes deliberately, but love, death, and memory are themselves favorite themes of film directors.
The style of this film is completely different from "father". It almost uses line drawing techniques to intercept cross-sections of two people during this period of time. The delicate details of life, rich facial and body expressions, playful and straightforward. The dialogues are observed under a microscope like time-space slices. The two drove a motorhome, joked with a navigator in the beautiful English countryside, watched the stars in the lake area; gathered together with relatives and friends to enjoy a warm time; rented a stone house in the country to face each other.
When they talk, there is no background music at all, just like your daily routine. Only when driving and watching the scenery, there will be melodious classical music, sometimes the piano and sometimes the cello.
What is love? Do you never separate or listen to the other person's choice? Is it to impose on others or to fulfill the other's wishes? Does it have a form? In other words, which one is more important, respect or love?
At the same time, I return to the experiencing self and memorizing self of recent reading. Does a person make a choice based on every second of the moment, or a future that scares oneself?
Two uncle-level actors contributed to an empathetic performance. Uncle Colin's talking eyes are too contagious. you are easily related to them, to both of them. Then you feel the weight, the weight of their emotions & their choice. It's so heavy that it echoing among the valleys.
"You must let me go." "Let me go."
