Probably one needs to watch "The Decline of the American Empire" first, to understand this movie better. Movie somewhat teaches to enjoy life.

When "ailing patriarch" fodder is approached with wit, class and sophistication - Arcand's meditation on the end of life, as Girard comes to grip with his family and his life choices is a moving and enveloping experience, helped by an unnerringly great supporting cast who provide intriguing cameos of characters who you each feel could sustain their own narrative! Blessedly never piles on mawkish sentiment and even provides a clear-eyed (if idealised) view of the end-of-life process.

Maybe my review for this movie will change over time. Maybe the plot will go the direction I was hoping it would go as I watched it. Maybe I won't feel like a clueless dolt listening to a bunch of people talking about things I had no idea about. Maybe you'll watch this movie, maybe you'll like it, maybe not.
