9/10
A 103-Year-Old Woman Will Steal Your Heart
26 June 2003
This documentary portrait of the filmmaker's grandmother was a lot of fun to watch. Nana, born in 1899, has a life that has spanned three centuries and will be 104 this year! Most of this film was shot after Nana had turned 96 and it is an amazing collection of interviews with her and her family, with lots of archival footage included. Nana's life has a lot of ups and downs, including family deaths that shatter her world, but she always gets over it and goes on. A wonderful, heartfelt portrait of an amazing lady. There were a few moments where the film began to drag, but at 80 minutes it was just about the right length. If you've ever thought you didn't want to live long, see this film, Nana is having a lot of fun at age 100 plus! 9 out of 10.
