Program Note
Ella and John decide to go on one last holiday in their old camper van, which they call “The Leisure Seeker.” Leaving their grown-up children behind, they plan to drive the Leisure seeker from Boston to Key West in Florida. Frail but clever Ella and mentally unstable but physically healthy John rediscover their passion for life and their love for each other through this adventurous and romantic journey. From Paolo Virzi, Italy’s next generation master director, The Leisure Seeker is a gentle drama starring seasoned actor Donald Sutherland and iconic British actress Helen Mirren. The romantic trip the aging couple had in mind becomes fraught with difficult situations and awkward moments, during which they discover things they never knew about each other, sometimes causing them to bicker and squabble. Such moments are made entirely convincing by the two lead actors’ outstanding performances. The Leisure Seekermade headlines when it was screened in the Competition section at the 2017 Venice Film Festival, and it will be an Asian premiere at Busan International Film Festival.
