Review of Another Year (2010) by Vickie S — 06 Feb 2011
A truly wonderful film that sneaks up on you. the film is about wine, good food, and valuing friends and family, which are all wrapped up in the meta-narrative of what its like to grow older. we see profound examples of what getting older should like like for those that are happy, as well as even profounder examples of what growing old is like for the far less fortunate.
the film is about peace, depression, and anxiety, all depending on which characters eyes one chooses to see the film through. we get multiple generations and stages of life, and these all lead up to a final scene which is a brilliant, perfectly crafted scene that ties the entire film together.
if the film is slow and uneventful for the first 90 minutes, hang in there, the payoff is wonderful if youre paying attention.
