Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter
Thematic Migrations Curated by Lourdes Portillo
The migration portrayed in this stirring film is from independent living to a nursing home. Filmmaker Deborah Hoffman diligently documents the cruel progression of her mother’s Alzheimer’s disease as well as her own process of coming to terms with the illness. The film offers a loving and fresh take on memory loss and serves as proof that a person without a past can still have definition and remain capable of joy.
