An exceptional work by this Austrian director and one of the most beautiful European films in recent years. Amour is an intimate story about saying goodbyes and the dying of a beloved person. The two main characters are portrayed by legendary French actors—Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant, who assume the roles of Anne and Georges, a well-off couple of retired music teachers. Due to an unexpected heart attack, Anne becomes paraplegic and requires constant care; thus, Georges will do everything so that his dying wife could spend her last moments with dignity under his tender care. The role of their daughter is played by Isabelle Huppert.
