Martin Landau gives a gem of a performance which is enhanced by Ellen Burstyn.
The story seems to center around an elderly man who finds love with a next door neighbor. The two become so attached that being away from one another for a brief time is earth shattering to them both.
Go know that Landau is in the throws of Alzheimer's and Mary (Burstyn) is his wife along with the son, who he thinks is the boss and her daughter supposedly from her marriage which is really his.
The disease is as devastating as ever; we don't need constant reminders of the havoc it can wreak.
Wasn't the background music of Sunrise, Sunset unusual at the Christman surroundings party? I think they ably made the point by sunset.
