The film The Savadges Director and screenwriter Tamara Jenkins, 2007, for some reason in the Russian box office called “Savages”, although this name and literal translation is not required even for the content of the film, we are talking about the Savage family. A brother and sister, who have long lived away from their father, suddenly get him with Parkinson’s disease and dementia, after his long-term girlfriend dies, and her relatives put him practically outside. They have no choice but to place him in a nursing home, because, despite his education and even his doctorate and professorship, they have no money for a nurse. They had, to put it mildly, no relationship with their father, so the problems that fell on their head are difficult for them, although they have enough problems of their own. I will not retell the plot, I will say that this time I liked the film more than at the first viewing – the film was shot very well, which I did not pay attention to for the first time, nothing superfluous is shown, which is not too common with such a theme. To watch or not to watch, decide for yourself. Starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
