Ross Killeen follows artist Asbestos’s family as his mother struggles to stay connected with the world
Don’t Forget to Remember review: A fine collaboration on the struggle to live with Alzheimer’s disease
Don’t Forget to Remember often plays in conventional observational style. We hear a great deal from the family as father and son do their best to communicate with their sometimes confused relative. There is a sense of them re-creating memories she no longer has. “Do you remember when he told us he was doing street art?” Dad says of Asbestos. “You weren’t too happy about that.” The artist sweetly notes that every time his mother sees a picture of him, she laughs.
Eve Hewson on finding her own fame: ‘Some people have no idea of the connection or don’t even care. It’s a nice feeling’ The film is, however, also in discussion with Asbetos’s art. The impermanence of one chalk-based project has obvious parallels with what goes on in the brain. Elsewhere, altered footage illustrates his mother’s memories of a close shave at the time of the. Throughout it all, we never lose focus on the core sadness at the film’s heart. A fascinating and rigorous piece of work.
