Away From Her Julie Christie 2007 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

Based on a short story by acclaimed author Alice Munroe, ‘Away From Her’ is the dazzling, lyrical and intensely moving debut of award-winning actress, writer and director Sarah Polley. Married for 50 years, Fiona (Julie Christie) and Grant’s (Gordon Pinsent) commitment to each other appears unwavering and their everyday life is full of tenderness and humour. This serenity is broken by increasing tension created by Fiona’s erratic memory loss and the couple’s uncertainty only increases as the behaviour becomes more obvious and dramatic. Unable to ignore what is happening, Grant is forced to confront his own anguish and embarks on the greatest act of self-sacrifice of his life as a means to attaining his wife’s final happiness. Beautifully acted and impeccably directed, this is the ultimate expression of memory, devotion and the circuitous, sometime unfathomable path of true love.
