Irina Palm
2007 Dir: Sam Gararski
Stars: Marianne Faithfull
IMDB
Just how far out of your comfort zone would you go to help, possibly, to save the life of your grandchild. Maddy (Marianne Faithfull) finds out just that. Her grandchild has cancer (or something equally nasty) and all treatments have failed.. There is a new treatment being tried, but it only done on the other side of the world. Having already sold her home, indebted herself as much as she could and with no skills to sell, how was she going to get more money to help. An ad for a hostess at a strip club tests her staid middle class view of the world. A carefully balanced drama with just the right amount of humour, sadness and decency. This film has charmed me.
Why See It? A delightful film.
