Gentle, Moving Film About Dementia
I thought this movie was very nice about a husband who is slowly losing his wife to Alzheimer's Disease. It presents the decline of the wife to the point that she needs to go into an assisted living facility as we would call them in the US. The wife slowly declines and finds her own life in the institution as the husband finds some life besides the wife. But they do come together in their own ...

There are now more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive brain disorder without any cure. This number is expected to skyrocket as America's Baby-Boomers reach age 65 and older, affecting millions of patients and family members alike.

Dementia With Dignity - Caring for people with Alzheimer's Disease (NTSC)

CustomFlix, 2004
Essential viewing - clear and very informative
I wish I had seen this earlier. My father succumbed to Alzheimer's (and other ailments) last year and none of our family - even those who saw him daily - picked up on the now obvious signs of Dementia. And when it hit, we were strugling to cope, day by day. But once we all viewed this program - it all started to make sense and we were able to ensure that we could all cope much better with the ...

Powerful, memorable and honest
October 2005, I spent several days at the bedside of my beloved Auntie, waiting for her to pass on. It was the end of a very long road for us. Those last few days, sitting at her bedside in a St. Louis nursing home, I prayed for her, held her hand, stroked her face and arms and even crawled up in her bed so that I could hold her in my arms and tell her how much I loved her. On a sunny, brisk ...

One of the best movies I've seen this year.
The Memory of a Killer (Erik van Looy, 2003) How is it that, until I watched this movie, I had never heard the name Jef Geeraerts, upon whose book this movie is based? There is a crime going on here somewhere, and I mean to find it. If the book is a tenth as good as the film, the English-speaking world has been kept in the dark about one of the best crime writers going today. Yeah, I realize ...

exquisite
Firefly Dreams is touchingly observed, lovingly filmed and depicts nuanced characters whose dramas will resonate beyond the rural Japanese setting. Other reviewers will give you the storyline; the director (not an English teacher, a Welshman teaching Film in a Japanese university) was nominated for a Best Director Award by the Japanese Academy. The critical acclaim and international awards ...

Elegant neuromance
A virtually perfect movie, in multiple ways. "Dopamine" delicately weaves its themes of love, intimacy, and fear of loss. All its characters are engaging and nuanced, in their various attempts to grapple with the risks of closeness--including Koy Koy, the virtual creature who flits seamlessly around and through the human drama; the digital character never intrudes in a contrived way, and stays ...

Beautiful..... Except for one major thing....
I posted a review before this DVD was released, because I had seen the Australian version and had assumed they would keep it intact. Hence the 5 star rating. Now that I have seen the US version, I can't change the 5 star rating, but I can edit my review.... Why? The region 4 (Australian) After the Deluge is an additional hour and a half long. It originally aired on TV as a mini-series in ...
