The Window

Argentina

An elderly man, living on a remote estate in Patagonia spends the last day of his life. He mixes dreams with present-day reality, escapes his bedroom prison for a walk out onto the prairie, falls down, gets rescued, has all the proper moments before he dies.

Elegantly shot, minimal dialogue, contemplative, nice use of sun-drenched landscapes, strong supporting cast. Overall a lovely, quiet look at the kind of death we all wish we could have.

Kudos.
