FORGET ME NOT (Vergiss mein nicht) (2012) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - David Sieveking

 

"Filmmaker DAVID SIEVEKING documents with warmth and sensibility the everyday life of his mother, affected by Alzheimer's and the way in which her condition reflects upon the people around her. 

FORGET ME NOT is not the type of documentary that aims to make any particular grand statement on Alzheimer's, opting instead for a more personal and human portrayal and a starting point for a son to find out more about his mother's present and past. 

The most interesting aspect for a viewer is provided by his subtle investigation on her life, that unearths a past family secret which shatters the idyllic image he had of the love between his parents."
