Academy Award winning actress Jessica Chastain and actor Peter Sarsgaard co-star in writer/director Michel Franco’s moving new film, ‘Memory’. Sarsgaard’s performance won him the Best Actor award at last year’s Venice Film Festival. The film is about two people learning to start over, with Sarsgaard playing a man suffering from early onset dementia and Chastain his caregiver.
According to the production notes: “Sylvia (Chastain) is a social worker who leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings. This is blown open when Saul (Sarsgaard) follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.”
You can watch the film in VO (original version) – which is English – at Cinema Casino in Antibes on Tuesday 18 June 2024.
