Poetry

In this winner of the Best Screenplay at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, and acclaimed as one of the finest films of the year, this finely tuned drama concerns an aging woman who, after a brief doctor visit, decides that her time has come to realize one of her childhood dreams. Faced with the discovery of a heinous family crime and learning she is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, she finds strength and purpose when she enrolls in a poetry class.
