Life Itself (2018)

In the heart-wrenching yet heartwarming saga, Life Itself, Dan Fogelman, the visionary behind "This Is Us", invites us on an extraordinary journey that spans both time and continents. From the bustling streets of New York City to the tranquil olive plantations of Carmona, Spain, the film explores the intricate complexities of life, love, and loss, told through a narrative as unpredictable and captivating as life itself. We begin with a young New York couple, Will and Abby, played by Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde. Their story, a tale of college romance blossoming into marriage and parenthood, is marred by unexpected twists that leave lasting echoes. Will, a tormented screenwriter, spirals into despair after his pregnant wife departs, leaving a ripple effect that profoundly impacts their daughter, Dylan, a troubled soul navigating the chaos of New York City. Simultaneously, across the Atlantic, we meet Rodrigo, portrayed by Alex Monner. Raised amidst the undulating olive groves of Spain, Rodrigo carries the weight of his own trauma. As the narrative unfolds, the lives of Dylan and Rodrigo become intricately entwined, a testament to the reverberating consequences of choices made by generations past. Life Itself is a testament to the human condition, an international ensemble featuring the likes of Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening, Olivia Cooke, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Laia Costa, Alex Monner, and Mandy Patinkin. The film paints a poignant picture of everyday life, celebrating its humor, its complications, and most importantly, its enduring capacity for love.
