The Dryden will screen Remember (Atom Egoyan, Canada 2015, 95 min., English/German w/ subtitles) as part of the Rochester International Jewish Film Festival.

Zev Guttman (Academy Award winner Christopher Plummer), a 90-year-old struggling with memory loss and his beloved wife's recent passing, is in a race against time to find justice. Having suppressed the wartime horrors of decades earlier, he is prompted to track down his fugitive Nazi tormentor by friend and fellow Auschwitz survivor Max (Martin Landau), a wheelchair-bound resident of their New York City nursing home. Zev embarks on a cross-country mission to find the former commander responsible for murdering their families, who they now believe to be living somewhere in the country under an assumed identity. As Zev closes in on his target, his manhunt is complicated by his own constantly crumbling sense of self, leading to a shocking discovery.
