"Compelling! Insightful!"-Variety
An unforgettable testament to the triumph of love over death, Death: A Love Story offers a colorful and thought-provoking portrait of the great challenge we must all one day face. As Variety reported, there was "nary a dry eye in the house" when this touching and heartfelt film first debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.
Acclaimed filmmaker Michelle Le Brun and her husband, award-winning producer and actor Mel Howard (Hester Street), were married only two years when Mel was diagnosed with a terminal illness. As the couple grappled with the news, Le Brun courageously picked up her camera and embarked on an intimate journey through the last year of his life. Through the process, she and Mel were able to share their discoveries about life with extraordinary honesty and wisdom, offering remarkable evidence of the role filmmaking can play in the healing process in the aftermath of tragedy.
A valuable and ultimately uplifting film for anyone who has ever experienced the loss of a loved one, Death: A Love Story reveals the clarity that death offers when we are able to put our fears, confusions, and denial aside and simply sit and listen to our loved ones as they pass. And perhaps most importantly, for all its irony and emotion, Death: A Love Story shows us that life's greatest gift can be found in the seed of death.
