Amour Review


Amour tells the story of Georges and Anne, an old married couple whose love is put to the test when Anne falls victim to a stroke. Director Michael Haneke shows the horrors of growing old and the fears and frustrations that come along with it. While the film tells a beautiful story that everyone can emotionally connect to, it could have told the same story in half the amount of time. Scenes drags on much longer than necessary and caused me to lose interest throughout the movie.  However the love and commitment portrayed beautifully by Emmanuelle Riva to his dying wife makes this touching movie one worth seeing.

Jean-Louis Trintignant
