Exquisite
Gorgeous Film
This documentary is about so many things--theatre, New York City, Cuba, friendship, aging, art--but it is really about LIFE. It is beautifully shot and edited and becomes a kind of visual poem, but without ever flagging or slowing down. Irene Fornes, the subject of the film, is endlessly entertaining and inspiring and painfully, beautifully human. I highly recommend you see this film if you get a chance!
Inspiring and wrenching both!
The film shares the back story of a creative force--Irene Fornes--but is brought to you the lens of a deep friendship with the filmmaker Michelle Memran as they both struggle through what it means to loose your memory and what you can and can't hold onto. Hopefully will be streaming soon as it's a lovely lovely film!
