MUN Cinema presents Remember. Directed by Atom Egoyan, with Christopher Plummer, Dean Norris, Martin Landau et al.

Canada’s own indomitable octogenarian Christopher Plummer carries the day here as Zev Guttman, recently widowed and fading. He shares a history of Holocaust victimization with Max, an alert, wheelchair-bound friend in the nursing home. Max asks Zev to track down a much despised Nazi guard. Somebody’s got to do it. And so with resolve and a severely uneven memory, Zev assumes the mission. You can see why the script might have appealed to Egoyan. History and memory are two of his consuming themes, and with the Holocaust in the mix you get the perfect meditation on all of the above.
