fellowtraveller Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 The movie. Stars Ewan MacGregor, Christopher Plummer, Melanie Laurent and the Serbian guy from ER. Laurent was the woman who played Shoshanna in Inglorious Basterds. Loved this movie,,,, the best I've seen this year probably, though it has been a weak crop in 2011 so far. Plummer plays an older father who is dying, and has come out of the closet after the death of his spouse. McGregor is the late-30s son, adrift in his relationships with everybody including himself. Laurent is gorgeous and deft even when she does not wear makeup A dog is a prominent character. I was prepared for a chick flick about love n'all, but it was much more than that. It is cleverly edited out of sequence, something I niormally detest but in this case it works very well. The plot is not complicated, but the story is handled so gently and well. By the end, I identified with the characters and found them believable/real. Recommended. Quote The government should do something.
