This is a very sad movie. It deals with a situation that could affect anyone. The burden a sick person brings upon himself/herself and other can be way too heavy. Love versus life. One affects the other and we can understand the decision one of the characters take.
Actors are very good in the movie, mainly Emmanuelle Riva. Her performance deserves a prize.
This movie makes us think about life, but mainly about death. What is the definition of "life", death, and how we die. There are other movies that kind of deal with this same subject ( Mar Adentro – 2004, Le scaphandre et le papillon – 2007, Okuribito – 2008, Million Dollar Baby – 2004, Les invasions barbares – 2003 ) with different "views" or approaches. But all of them deal with death, handicapped people, limits, suffering, burdens, life itself. "Amour" belongs to this list of memorable movies.
