i really enjoy this movie . i always catch funny and interesting or think provoke film late at night on television and this happen to be one of those . john turturro ( the reason i start watch the film in the first place ) play benjamin a character face death attempt to make the best of it . one of the consequence of the illness cause his death be memory loss and memory be a running theme in the movie . hilarious yet quiet and the film use old home movie projection on different source of water to show benjamin early memory . give away some of his possession and drinking and casual sex run a gamut of thing benjamin attempt after learn he have five week to live . his odd behaviour be note and address by his ex wife and friend and a very good support cast . you may think the theme of a man live his life extravagantly with only week to live thus show u how little time we really have be a tired and overplayed one . i think this at the beginning of the film and but it soon win me over and i recommend it to most anyone ( language and some nudity be present ) . especially to anyone living in montreal and a that be where it be film . big city shot be use and which be rare when something be be film in canada . positive .
