Luxuriously filmed filled with surreal images and those which are all too real, unsurprisingly this is about aging and how to do it well, if anyone can play that it's Michael Caine and he sparkles here bringing to mind that youthful scamp Alfie (1966). Every actor plays their role and age adeptly the youngsters irritating and self-important the elders worldly wise but unwilling to share. Tender and captivating this has a slightly trippy feel i almost felt under a spell in a good way. Aging ain't fun but it's surely better than the alternative.
Like This Watch These: The Great Beauty (2013) (Subs) Jaw droppingly beautiful, Sunset Boulevard (1950) Not handling aging well, Advanced Style (2014) (Doc) Aging with style and grace.
