Truman

Julián receives a visit from his old friend Tomás, who has traveled from Canada to spend four days with him in Madrid. But Julián is terminally ill, and both know this will likely be their final reunion. Cesc Gay films the final days of a friendship with restraint and tenderness, avoiding melodrama in favor of the most authentic emotion. Ricardo Darín and Javier Cámara deliver superb performances in a film about friendship and death that never feels dishonest.

A film about friendship and grief that avoids easy sentimentality. Darín and Cámara are extraordinary. Cesc Gay directs with admirable sensitivity and honesty.
