in the company of strangers
director: cynthia scott
Movies about old people make me cry.
I saw an incredible film this weekend on video called In the Company of Strangers, or Strangers in Good Company, as IMDB calls it. It is a gorgeous, deceptively simple Canadian film, where "A busload of women become stranded in an isolated part of the Canadian countryside. As they await rescue, they reflect on their lives through a mostly ad-libbed script." The old women are simply incredible to to watch with their idiosynchratic, authentic gestures and vanities.
