Description

Reimagining Death is a series of free film scerenings which present interesting perspectives on our common mortality, hosted by the University of Montana's Institute of Health and HumanitiesEach screening is introduced by a local expert, and followed by a discussion of the film.

Lying on her deathbed, drifting in and out of consciousness, Ann Grant Lord (Vanessa Redgrave) calls forth memories of her one true love, Harris Arden (Patrick Wilson). As a young woman, she met Harris at her best friend's wedding and had a brief affair, but it ended when he left her to marry another. As Ann recalls the bittersweet time in her life, her daughters (Toni Collette, Natasha Richardson) try to come to terms with her imminent death.

Conversation hosted by Dr. Amy Ratto Parks
