FAmiliar touch
Type: Dramatic ✦✦✦
Director: Sarah Friedland. With Kathleen Chalfant, H. Jon Benjamin, Carolyn Michelle
The director, 33 years old and at the first workhe told the presentation of the film in Venice 2024 (three prizes in the Orizzonti section), that he had made “a training novel”.
Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant, really good) is in fact forced to learn a new languagemade of daily gestures, of dazzling moments alternating with anguished empty, body memory (that of the mind is leaving, and for this reason the son who, in the initial scene, she exchanges for a suitor, transfers her to a nursing home).

The cruelty of fate has never been silentbut the last season of life is never only seen as decline. Interesting.
