FACE/OFF Special Collector's Edition DVD
AWAY FROM HER
Lionsgate -- $27.98
It is rare to see the luminous Julie Christie on the screen. She has never been enamored with the movie business and turns down far more roles than she accepts. But young director Sarah Polley was persistent, and Christie gave in. In this deeply moving tale, she plays a woman married for 50 years to a man (Gordon Pinsent), upon whom it dawns that his wife is slowly losing her mind to Alzheimer's disease. Co-starring Michael Murphy and Olympia Dukakis. The DVD includes audio commentary by Christie and Polley, as well as deleted scenes.
