Details
Stories We Tell is a genre-twisting documentary film directed by Sarah Polley. Polley, an Oscar-nominated writer and director, takes on the role of both filmmaker and detective as she delves into the secrets of her own family. The film explores the idea that the truth is subjective and varies depending on who is telling the story.
Through a series of playful interviews and interrogations, Polley uncovers a cast of characters within her family who all have different versions of the truth. Their recollections not only differ from each other but also shift between present-day memories and nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who passed away prematurely and left behind a trail of unanswered questions.
With candid and often contradictory answers, Polley paints a complex and multi-layered portrait of her family's mythology. As the documentary unfolds, viewers are taken on a journey of discovery, piecing together the puzzle of their family's past.
Stories We Tell is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, perception, and the power of storytelling. Polley skillfully weaves together interviews, archival footage, and reenactments to create a compelling narrative that challenges our understanding of truth and reminds us of the significance of our own personal narratives.
