Although movies seem made for young people, you can still find films with sensitivity and insight about the lives of older people in different (but in some ways similar) cultures. While these films deal with the realities of aging, all are thoughtful, engaging and ultimately ennobling. The films we will screen are “Make Way for Tomorrow” (USA, 1937); “Tokyo Story” (Japan, 1953); “Away from Her” (USA, 2002); “Cloud Nine” (Germany, 2009); “After Life” (Japanese, 1999); and “Wild Strawberries” (Sweden, 1957). Bring lunch to the discussion following the screening, if you like. Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film, U of M.
