A Science on Screen® Presentation

Including a pre-show presentation: Losing Our Selves: Dementia in Real Life

"Rarely has love at any age been depicted so honestly on screen."—Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

Screened on 35mm!

After 50 years together, Grant (Gordon Pinset) and Fiona's (Julie Christie) marriage is tested when she is moved into a nursing home after her Alzheimer's begins to be exacerbated. With her memory fading fast, she begins to develop a new relationship with one of the other residents, transferring her affections to another man. Sarah Polley's (Women Talking) feature directorial debut is a beautifully affecting story adapted from Alice Munro's The Bear Came Over the Mountain.

An initiative of the COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE, with major support from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION.
