Alzheimer

About This Movie

Alzheimer (2011) is this introspective drama that really delves into the fragility of human connections. The story revolves around a man grappling with Alzheimer’s after a traumatic car accident. What struck me is how the film captures the disorienting atmosphere of his new reality—how moments of clarity flicker in and out like a faulty light bulb. The pacing can feel a bit slow, but it mirrors the protagonist's struggle to piece together his own life. Performances feel raw and honest, with an emphasis on nuanced emotion rather than melodrama. It’s those quiet moments that resonate, revealing how relationships evolve and sometimes fray under the weight of such a heavy theme. Definitely a unique take, not your typical disease narrative, but rather a profound exploration of existence itself.
