Told with guts and humor by longtime companions Tom Joslin and Mark Massi, this powerful documentary celebrates the human spirit while capturing the emotional challenges of living with a fatal illness.
Amazon.com This tough, harrowing 1993 documentary began as a video journal by film instructor Tom Joslin, who wanted to capture details and insights into the process of his own slow death from AIDS, as well as that of his partner, Mark Massi. For much of its running time, Silverlake Life is precisely that, a book of days in which these longtime companions grow weaker, face their anger and grief, visit with friends and family for what may be the last time, attend therapy, and find that life is still--for the most part--a series of small, deceptively simple events and actions that might almost be forgotten if not for the shortage of time left. At a certain point, a former student of Joslin's, Peter Friedman, takes over the production, and the film instantly becomes a memory of itself, a tribute to two men who once lived in this world, found love together, and left this record of the way they died. --Tom Keogh
