The Father (2020)
Director:
Florian Zeller
Writers:
Christopher Hampton, Florian Zeller
Starring:
Olivia Colman, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Gatiss, Olivia Williams
Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne (Olivia Colman), encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her?
The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant — a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.
Plot summary from IMDb: A man refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
Awards: Nominated for 6 Oscars. Another 21 wins & 125 nominations.
Runtime: 97 min
