Il silenzio dell'amore

I remember seeing a film years ago with Mia Farrow about woman with memory problems. At this time I wasn't aware of Alzheimer's or dementia or that people of a younger age would have the condition. Now of course me, my friends, neighbours, relatives all have someone with this illness. I recently found the film on YouTube.

All I remember from the film was Mia's character in the doctors office recognising a connection with a map on the wall behind him and going home and checking through her mothers stuff. It was such a powerful scene.

Throughout the film we then see Diane (Mia's character) experiencing bouts of memory loss and anxiety. Her character is in a high-powered job and it's so sad to see her decline. I'm not too fussed here about giving further information as another review has told us the whole film.

Shame about the extremely annoying and loud music which drowned out most of the dialogue.

Look out for her son - I thought (but knew it couldn't be) Chris Martin from Coldplay at first.

I've ordered Diane's book; Living Through The Labrynth.
