Directed by Michael Roemer • 1976 • United States
This documentary, made for public television, is an extraordinary, deeply affecting confrontation with that from which we so often try to look away: our own mortality. Through unflinching, vérité portraits of three terminally ill people—a middle-aged woman with brain cancer being cared for by her elderly mother; a husband and father dying of melanoma whose wife worries about a future without him; and a cancer-stricken reverend reflecting on his life—director Michael Roemer asks us to consider our relationship to death and what it means to go on living in the face of it.
