The Notebook
Behind every great love is a great story.
Directed by Nick Cassavetes
Produced by New Line Cinema, Avery Pix
A deeply romantic, melancholic meditation on enduring love across time and loss, told through the intimate act of one person reading their shared story to someone slipping away.
An epic love story centered around an older man who reads aloud to a woman with Alzheimer's. From a faded notebook, the old man's words bring to life the story about a couple who is separated by World War II, and is then passionately reunited, seven years later, after they have taken different paths.
