“Saw this at the 2023 Sundance Film Festivalu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Eternal Memoryu0026quot; is a story about Augusto and Paulina have been together for 25 years. Eight years ago, he was diagnosed with Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease. Both fear the day he no longer recognizes her. The film was one of the best documentaries from this years festival as the film was able to capture the relationship between the couple with heartwarming sequences. Director Maite Alberdi was able to perfectly capture life of having Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease and was able to make the characters very interesting to observe. Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease is a disease that is difficult to cure and itu0026#39;s interesting to see a story revolving around a real couple going through this process and seeing how they are able to resolve their conflicts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany archival footages used to describe the setting and situations were purposeful and well informative. Many of the dialogue moments were very interesting as it was very fun to observe and listen to the two main lead characters to talk about their lives and love. Along with other participants, there are some many interesting conversations provided and the tone goes from sometimes comedic and touching at the same time. From someone who has a relative who suffers from Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease, the film does hit home pretty hard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, itu0026#39;s a great documentary and itu0026#39;s one of the best at Sundance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRating: A-“
