"Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard Delve Into the Complexities of 'Memory' From Childhood to Streaming"
"Memory," an independent film starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard, explores complex themes of love, sex, consent, and the reliability of memory against the backdrop of early onset dementia. Directed by Michel Franco, the film takes an unflinching look at these issues, avoiding the safety net of studio production to tell a more nuanced story. Chastain's character, Sylvia, is hired to keep company with Sarsgaard's character, Saul, who has dementia, leading to a controversial relationship. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, has earned Chastain an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best lead performance.
