Filmhouse/New Kalamata Cinema Club-THE FAREWELL
Spread the word
The members of a family find out that the grandmother has only a few days to live and decide not to tell her the truth, organising a wedding in order to gather at her house and say goodbye.
The simple and realistic cinematography captures how each family member copes with the news of the illness, grief and premature mourning, as well as the intense efforts to spend quality time with their grandmother, care for her, and give her the joy she needs. There are conflicts and fights, but also love and the sincere interest of one in the other, even though everyone experiences and expresses it uniquely.
It is a film that leaves you with a feeling of sweet melancholy. The colours, the music, and the realistic and simplistic interpretations evoke a sense of warmth, creating the impression in the viewer that he is a member of the family.
