Georges and Anne are an elderly couple living in Paris seem to be enjoying their golden years when Anne begins having health issues. A stroke leads to an operation which leads to further issues. Georges finds himself caring for Anne, something which he finds exasperating at times. This very realistic, un-Hollywood look at love, relationships, and what it means to be committed to someone is beautiful at times, painful at others. It is gorgeously shot and the acting is incredible. This film won multiple awards including the Palme D'or at Cannes in 2012 and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2013.
