Description

Best of Festival, Windy City Film Festival

Pop is a portrait of Hy Meyerowitz, a street wise and funny 87 year-old who maintains his optimism about life in the face of old age and now Alzheimer's Disease. Photographer Joel Meyerowitz--seeing his father aging--felt the need to spend more time with him and to make sure his own son, Sasha, would better know his grandfather. On a two-week road trip from Florida back to New York City where Hy was born, the trio recaptures the fading memories of Hy's life.

Meyerowitz, one of the world's great photographers, has created a loving depiction that resonates beyond one man's tribute to his father. While de-mystifying the misconceptions that surround Alzheimer's, Meyerwitz creates an intimate family love story about an unforgettable character, a true underdog who in spite of his deficits can still teach us about life and how to live it fully.
