After so many years (when did I see it for the first time?...), this film still says everything through its gentle subtlety: the sadness of growing old and lonely, the mute but nagging fear of facing the future in uncertain times, and our desperate need to keep a brave, polite smile in front of the others who have no time for us and hence do not really care.
The flimsiness of social relations. The painful truth that we mean very little to most acquaintances and relatives, and will quickly fade into oblivion when not needed or useful.
