...her confusion about things he is telling her. The characters have great chemistry, and you really can see the love that Grant has for Fiona, and his hurt that she doesn't remember anything about him. Julie Christie who plays Fiona is equally excellent in her portrayal, particularly towards the end of the movie, as she shows Fiona in a multitude of emotions and confused and upset by everything that is going on.
This movie is very real, and for the most part straightforward. It's pretty easy to guess what's going to happen throughout the film, but this doesn't take anything awayfrom the movie at all, for it's not one that needs to be complicated. The plot is straightforward - it's a film about a disease, and the effect that this disease has on a person and those that love them. It's extremely depressing to watch, and though I would...

AwayFrom Her is the writing and directorial debut of Sarah Polley, a surprising turn considering her previous body of work (acting in Go, and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake).

"Wherever I Lay My Hat" was originally the B-side to Marvin Gaye's "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" and was meant to be happy-go-lucky celebration of a love 'em and leave 'em types. I think I prefer Paul's guilty wailings on his ballad version.
"Oh Girl" is a smashing cover of a Chi-lites tune, "Senza Una Donna" is a cover of a song Zucchero already released in Italy. Zucchero apparently means "Sugar" in Italian, fact fans!
"Don't Dream It's Over" is a Crowded House cover, featuring Neil Finn himself. There's also a cover version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" recorded with Clannad.
The covers may not be original but the arrangements are fantastic.
Paul's voice is fantastic and there is a variety of tunes on this collection. There is a great in-lay card with a forward by Paul himself.
The tape cost me £7...
