Redux | The Company of Strangers

ALFF Redux: cinema that deserves to be seen again.

Dir. Cynthia Scott, 1990, Canada, 101 min In this feature film, 8 elderly women find themselves stranded when their bus breaks down in the wilderness. With only their wits, memories and some roasted frogs' legs to sustain them, this remarkable group of strangers share their life stories and turn a potential crisis into a magical time of humour, spirit and camaraderie. Featuring non-professional actors and unscripted dialogue, this film dissolves the barrier between fiction and reality, weaving a heart-warming tale of friendship and courage.

Recommended for all ages.
