Amour is the only film among this year’s Best Picture nominees not to shy from reality.
There is nothing like Giacchinos waltzing melody as a sound track here either.
One day while they are in the kitchen, Anne has a stroke.
From this point on, she is under Georges care.
George has to deal with the frustrations of caring for his wife as her condition begins to worsen.
ThroughoutAmour, we watch Riva physically fade away.
Trintignant provides a sweeter part of the story, as the support system necessary to keep Anne alive.
Many films, as inspired by non-fictional emotions and or events, aim to find escapism in their truths.
Nothing inAmourcan be mistaken for fiction.
