A brilliant movie from the Czech Republic, "Autumn Spring."

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

No, a film about an aging man, his wife, and his best friend didn't exactly motivate me to rent it but a good friend recommended it so...
This movie, first of all, dispenses with all those trite aging tricks, the cutesieness, the forgetfullness, grouchiness, etc.
Rather, the principal is an original scallywag whose lifetime of fun and practical joking finally exasperates his wife.
Friendship, marriage, and the acceptance of death are life's greatest subjects and among its greatest challenges. They also are the most difficult to treat intelligently, believably, and honestly. This film does so while creating memorable characters, amusing scenes (some hilarious).
Think of it as a "Wild Strawberries," Czech style.
(You may recall the face of the lead from "Closely Watched Trains.")
