My sister had a little role in this which is why we went as it opened. *
I was drawn close from the moment the irritated noises took us to the room by the railway.
It is a hard journey the film carries us on, but so worth it. Bardem delineates each aspect of his life, real and imagined. The filming has different and all beautifully shot qualities for each strained narrative and discord, running between the dementia now, the history and the not travelled. All performances are very present.
Do go to see such an accomplished experienced artist in Sally Potter make such a touching tough movie, in a beautiful way.
