In
Stories We Tell
,
Sarah Polley
plays with the
documentary format
to explore the
nature of memory and storytelling
, crafting a thoughtful, compelling narrative that unfolds like a mystery. Simply the most
enthralling
, idiosyncratic and
entertaining family memoir
around.
In this
inspired, genre-twisting new film
, Oscar-nominated writer/director
Sarah Polley
discovers that the
truth depends on who''s telling it
. Polley is both
filmmaker and detective
as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers.
She
playfully interviews and interrogates
a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology,
present-day
recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses
of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions.
Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but
at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families
, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.
