AWAY FROM HER
Directed by Sarah Polley (2006)
Reflective Written Task (1-1.5 pages)
Winner of 7 Genie awards including Best Picture, 2007.
Sarah Polley's touching and poignant directorial debut deals with the alienation and despair elderly couples may feel as they move past their retirement years. Yet it also ultimately demonstrates the love and sacrifice older couples make for each other. How does Away From Her help provide enlightenment and empathy toward many baby boomers / elderly who may be dealing with health issues in the coming years? If you have elderly family members, how have you dealt with growing health concerns and issues?
