This moving documentary follows Simon and Marianne during their final weeks together. Suffering from incurable brain cancer, writer and college literature teacher Simon Roy has requested medical assistance in dying. Filmmakers Pier-Luc Latulippe and Martin Fournier compose spellbinding vignettes of this couple's daily life in cozy black and white, wrapped in a delicate sound design. From their discussions emerge, with disarming lucidity, their relationship to death, but above all to life and love. Filled with tenderness and at the protagonists' pace, these intimate moments are captured using meticulous still shots with respect devoid of voyeurism. Although confrontational, this luminous film emerges as a celebration of the present moment. (RIDM)
