| Description: |
This touching film, a gerontological classic, portrays a family's visit to their grandmother, a patient in a nursing home, and their sense of despair and isolation as they struggle vainly to communicate. When other family members leave the room, the college-age grandson stays behind to share memories with her. As he leaves, unsure whether he's penetrated her loneliness, the camera shows her begin to smile. She is alone again, but with a feeling of worth, knowing that someone cares. Includes discussion questions. Bonus features include commentaries by the director and a gerontologist/film professor. CLOSED CAPTIONED. |
