The Savages


Just saw the film The Savages 2007, written and directed by Tamara Jenkins.
The main roles are played by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney who are siblings in the film. They are dealing with their demented and estranged father who all of sudden crashes into both of their lives lived in the North East of America.
They are brilliant! Philip Bosco plays the father and he is a tour de force also.
The script is extremely moving and honest. The photography sensitive and subtle. A very beautiful and touching film. I recommend it highly.
