The Father

Stubborn to the point of challenging, Anthony barks at his caring daughter Anne. He is about to turn 80, lives in a beautiful London apartment and suffers from degenerative memory loss. His daughter refuses to stand idly by and watch his mental health deteriorate. But, frightening away every caregiver she introduces him to, no matter how helpful, the mischievous old man sends Anne to the brink of despair. When she tells him that she is moving to Paris to be with her boyfriend, Anthony's mind is already lost in an inescapably strange world of mirrored memories. Florian Zeller's directorial debut sees Academy Award-winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman in a ravishingly authentic spectacle that offers to the viewer an immediate experience of life with dementia.
