SF Theatrical Premiere
Sunset Story
Dir. Laura Gabbert US 2003
Sunset Story is a funny and intimate documentary about Sunset Hall, a retirement home for "free-thinking elderly". Founded in 1923, Sunset Hall integrates aging with progressive activism, giving residents the opportunity to engage daily with causes they hold dear. The film goes inside the world of two women, 81-year-old Irja and ninety-five-year-old Lucille, whose feisty engagement with life draws them together inextricably. Exploding familiar stereotypes of doddering old ladies, they choose political demonstrations over bingo. Sharp-witted, up-to-date, and often provocative, the two are not afraid to weigh in with opinions on men, sex, gender roles and social attitudes toward the elderly. Sunset Story is a provocative look at aging amongst the politically active that will change the way you think about growing old. (73m)
