Amour (2012)
Written and directed
by Michael Haneke this film stars Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle
Riva and Isabelle Huppert. An old man struggles to care for his wife
as her health deteriorates after a stroke.
You could almost see
this as a documentary such is the realist approach to telling the
story of age and despair. There is no melodrama or cliché here, just
a cold look at the struggle of the elderly and the way others treat
them. I really enjoyed the performances, especially of Emmanuelle
Riva who is outstanding as the increasingly disabled wife.
5/5
