À propos de ce film

In her highly acclaimed, and consummately executed, Oscar® nominated screenplay Tamara Jenkins ("Slums of Beverly Hills") introduces us to The Savages. Middle-aged siblings Wendy (Laura Linney *) and Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman * *) are forced to join forces when their long estranged father (Philip Bosco) develops dementia. Ill-equipped to deal with a man neither likes very much anyway, they are left with no choice but to place their own unfulfilled meagre lives on hold to care for him. Told with compassion, love and large doses of humour THE SAVAGES is "a truly grown-up comedy with Oscar®-worthy performances." -- Thelma Adams, US Weekly. © 2007 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
