Away from Her

Away from Her

2006

Sarah Polley directs this drama about a long-married but still very much in love couple whose lives are torn asunder when one of them must enter a rest home. Julie Christie (in an Oscar-nominated role) plays the wife, and Gordon Pinsent plays the husband desperate to ensure her comfort in the new setting while burdened with guilt over past behavior. Olympia Dukakis co-stars in this film inspired by an Alice Munro story.
