Amour

*“amour” is a very sincere and deeply emotional film. it is a realistic and extremely nuanced exploration of old age in cinema. an exploration of what an elderly couple who have lived a lifetime together will experience when faced with the inevitability of being. > It so happened that, by absolute coincidence, just yesterday I watched “cries and whispers” by bergman, where one of the main themes is also death of a close person, and I would like to draw a small parallel between these two films, because it is interesting what they say about it completely in opposite key. this movie talks about death of a close person in an environment in which there is no love, in this film everything is built on lies and compulsion. in "amour", on the contrary, we are talking about the death of a close person one in a situation where this love is very strong, devoted and ready to come to terms with everything. in this film, love is the only force that makes you live and endure. > what really struck me was how george and anne calmly deal with the inevitability of their future out of pure love and respect for each other. after all, this is exactly what awaits us all sooner or later. humility. perhaps what I will write now will be too personal, but this film reminded me of my grandparents. when I was about 6 years old, my grandmother developed complications from diabetes, and her stroke also changed our family's life greatly. I remember how my grandfather felt, and I understand that at some point he, like george, had to come to terms. humility and acceptance is what comes with such boundless, strong and unconditional love.**-“It's beautiful” -“what?” -” life. so long” * **[ *Michael Haneke ranked *](https://boxd.it/xeBc0)
