BEGINNERS

2010 / 105' / U.S. / In English with Chinese subtitles / Color

Oliver, a graphic designer, is attracted to a free-spirited and unpredictable Anna. Memories of his father encourage him to open himself up to the potential of a true and long-lasting relationship.

Dir. Mike MILLS

Recommendation

One of my all-time favourites! It’s sincere, lonely, humorous, and profound... and Ewan McGregor is simply stunning. The story is simple: A 75-year-old father comes out of the closet while battling terminal cancer. His son finally understands why his parents' marriage felt so loveless and his own "avoidant attachment" patterns. No matter our age, gender, or orientation, we are all beginners and helpless fools when it comes to love.
