LOVELY, STILL Starring: Martin Landau, Elizabeth Banks, Adam Scott; Director: Nicholas Fackler; Season starts: 2 June; Rating: TBC With the approach of Christmas causing him to feel lonely in life and love, Robert Malone (Academy Award Winner Martin Landau) braves the winter snow to arrive home from his job at the grocery store only to find a stranger (Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn) standing in his home. What begins as an odd and awkward encounter quickly blossoms into what appears to be a romantic late life love affair that takes us on a heartfelt and wonderful journey which takes an unexpected turn.
This is the story of one of those improbable meetings that can change the course of a lifetime: the encounter between middle-aged Germain, who is almost illiterate, and Marguerite, an older and well-read woman. She’s articulate, highly intelligent, frail, and looks as if a sharp breeze could send her floating away. Touchingly, their growing friendship centres on books and words – Marguerite’s subtle love of them, Germain’s inquiring wonder about them. Gradually his life is transformed through the experience, and in turn he enriches the lives of the collection of kindly, slightly bruised French types that constitute his circle.
