Across the board one of the top films at this year's NYAFF, CORD OF LIFE is full of life.
The film is the story of a musician who takes his mother, who is suffering with Alzheimer's Disease back to the Mongolian country side one last time.
It's a simple plot for a complex and touching film. Full of moments that will ring true for anyone who has had to deal with aging and sick parents, this film doesn't sugar coat what a chore they can be. Additionally the film also shows us what a joy it can be to connect to our parents at a time in our lives when we don't always think that is possible, I was moved by what I was seeing because I could see moments with both my mom and my dad before they passed.
Technically this film is a marvel. One of the absolute must sees on a big screen films playing the festival CORD OF LIFE is a delight for the ear and the eye. I can not impress enough how gorgeous this film is. I say that because watching man sequences I wished I was seeing the film on an even bigger screen so that I could truly fall into the images.
This is filmmaking of the height order.
Highly recommended- this film will delight your eyes and move your soul
