Remember
Country: USA
Directors: Atom Egoyan
Synopsis: Remember
tells the story of Zev Guttman (Academy Award® Winner Christopher
Plummer), a 90-year-old struggling with memory loss who is living out
his final years in a serene retirement home. A week following the death
of his beloved wife Ruth, he suddenly gets a mysterious package from his
close friend Max (Academy Award® Winner Martin Landau), containing a
stack of money and a letter detailing a shocking plan. Both Zev and Max
were prisoners in Auschwitz, and the same sadistic guard was responsible
for the death of both their families-a guard who, immediately after the
war, escaped Germany and has been living in the U.S. ever since under
an assumed identity. Max is wheelchair-bound but in full command of his
mental faculties; with his guidance, Zev will embark on a
cross-continental road-trip to bring justice once and for all to the man
who destroyed both their lives.
Academy
Award® nominated director Atom Egoyan creates a thrillingly fast-paced
revenge story that, in a highly original and deeply intimate way, deals
with the aftermath of one of the most deplorable and significant events
in recent history. With an incredible lead performance from Christopher
Plummer as the frail but unstoppable Zev, Remember manages to keep audiences on the edge of their seats while giving them something to think about long after the film is over.
- Screening 1: Tuesday, October 27; 8:15pm (ticket code: EFREMEM)
