THE WINDOW

in 2009 Films & Events

Savoy Theater
Carlos Sorin, Argentine director of GMFF favorites INTIMATE STORIES and EL PERRO has made his most intimate and personal film to date. Taking place over the course of one day, mostly inside a remote country house, THE WINDOW is the story of an octogenarian writer facing the end of his life. Confined to bed under doctor’s orders due to a heart complaint, he is gently nursed by two devoted women as he awaits a visit from his long-absent son. Variety: “As elegant in its storytelling as in its story, Carlos Sorin’s reflective and insightful film is a tale of age and mortality that firmly resists the ‘cute’ tag reflexively assigned to movies with old people, and mines a rich, deep vein of melancholy and humor.” 96 minutes in Spanish with subtitles. Sponsored by Sarducci’s. Community Partners: Kellogg-Hubbard Library, Vermont Council on Aging, Montpelier Senior Center.
