Brenda Fricker: Poignant Story

Cloudburst Dept: HALIFAX - Thom Fitzgerald describes his latest movie as a heartbreaking glimpse into aging and ailing, and the complex troubles that can bring, according to Winnipeg Free Press. It is a love story, but one with cross-border politics, prejudice and a heavy dose of expletives from one of its grey-haired protagonists who is fighting to stay with her spouse of 30 years and actors Olympia Dukakis right and Brenda Fricker. The award-winning director is discussing his new feature film "Cloudburst," a funny yet poignant story about an elderly couple forced to separate because of infirmity and ignorance.
