FilmBulb Amour | French | France | 2012

What will happen when one get old? Who will take care of the old people? The best person to care

of an ailing old man would be his wife and vice versa. It’s their love which drives the elderly people

to sustain the hard life. Amour (Love) is one such French film which shows the love between an

elderly couple.

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

Living in an apartment in Paris, Georges and Anne, both retired music teachers lead a life which will

put their emotions into a test. It is a kind of who breaks first.

Anne, experiencing frequent blackouts undergoes a surgery, which goes in vain and leads to paralyze

her right hand and leg.

Geroges takes care of Anne. There is no improvement in her health, rather she deteriorates. Unable

to see her suffering; Georges put her to a permanent sleep.

It is slow placed, can’t expect fast reactions from elderly, but there is a bit of suspense as the story

moves to end. This film reminds me of Tamil films made by Visu in yesteryears, which were comical

and was told in a lighter sense.

Watch if for some wonderful performances by Jean Louis Trintignant as Georges and Emmanuelle

Riva as Anne, directed by Michael Haneka.

Nominated for Best Picture - Academy Awards 2013.
