The film, Iris, written by Richard Eyre in 2001 is a British-American biographical drama film. The story tell us about a British novelist, Iris Murdock, and her relationship with John Bayley. Iris was an outgoing individual, who became sick, and the story tell us how it is to live with an Alzheimer's disease. We see a lot of throwback's of how John's and Iris' life was before she got sick, in their youth.
I think it's a nice sequence when we experience the swimming in the lake both as young and elderly. It's a symbol of a clearing process and a rebirth for Iris.
It's a beautiful story of a lifelong romance, and how to overcome the problems that follow a life with the dementia disease.
I think the film give us a great general view of how it is to be a relative person in a dementia patients' life.
