Song For Marion
More 'Amore' than Amour

Tweet

Plot
His wife Marion's (Redgrave) fading health doing little for his bah-humbugging outlook on life, Arthur (Stamp) grouchily agrees to step in and help out on the local choir when she proves too ill to continue. But under the watchful eye of Gemma Arterton's choir coach a strange transformation takes place.

Verdict
With Redgrave on top form and the story's moving take on devotion in the face of death, your tear ducts will be powerless to resist.
