Synopsis
The Roads Not Taken (2020) is Sally Potter's drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Javier Bardem plays Leo, a man whose mind is slipping away to illness. Across one ordinary day in New York he lives in several realities at once — the one he's in, and the ones that might have been.
His daughter Molly, played by Elle Fanning, shuttles him between appointments and tries to keep him present, here, beside her. But he keeps drifting into alternate versions of his own life: a fierce romance with Dolores (Salma Hayek) in Mexico, a solitary writer's exile on a Greek island. Past, fantasy and failing memory bleed together, and you're rarely sure where Leo actually is. Potter drew the film from her own brother's experience.
This is small, quiet cinema about the way illness erases the line between what was lived and what was missed, and about the daughterly love that has to keep both men afloat. It rewards viewers who value performances and slow, personal drama over external action. Stream The Roads Not Taken (2020) online on iFILM.
