Description


Brillant professeur Harvard, Alice Howland adore sa vie, qu'elle partage entre les cours, la recherche et sa famille. Peu de temps avant son cinquanti me anniversaire, elle s' tonne de ses trous de m moire, de plus en plus fr quents. Sans doute est-ce le stress. Mais, un jour, Alice se perd dans son quartier en faisant son jogging, et d cide de consulter un m decin. Le diagnostic est sans appel: elle est atteinte d'un Alzheimer pr coce. A mesure que ses souvenirs s'effacent et que ses rep res disparaissent, Alice doit apprendre vivre au pr sent. Ecrit du point de vue d'Alice, L'Envol du papillon aborde le sujet de la maladie d'Alzheimer avec force et justesse, et brosse le portrait bouleversant d'une femme qui se bat pour rester elle-m me, jusqu'au bout. Cette histoire a t magnifiquement port e l' cran par Richard Glatzer et Wash Westmoreland, avec Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin et Kristen Stewzrt dans les r les principaux.
