The Roads Not Taken
The Roads Not Taken by Sally Potter is a sad, intensely personal essay on regret, dementia, and the alternate lives we imagine but never live. The film centers on a single day in the life of Leo, a writer whose mind is failing, as his loving daughter Molly negotiates the emotional and practical difficulties of caring for him. It was inspired by Potter's own experience taking care of her brother who had early-onset dementia.
