{Time To Leave}
Here's another one to add to my soon-to-post Favorite Films of '06 list...
Directed by Francois Ozon this is a story of a handsome photographer that learns he has a malignant brain tumor that will soon kill him. Hiding his diagnosis, he alienates his family and his boyfriend, but during a short stay with his grandmother, his vulnerability is met with a big heart and sound advice. An encounter with a waitress results in an unusual bargain that provides a happy, playful dimension to the proceedings. Time To Leave originally released overseas in '05, and then in limited release stateside last summer. You can now find it through Netflix or Blockbuster.
