Summary
Venus (2006) is a British comedy-drama directed by Roger Michell that explores themes of aging, friendship, and self-discovery through the unlikely bond between an elderly actor and his friend's young grandniece. Once a renowned actor, Maurice Russell now finds himself in the twilight of his life, spending time with his friends Ian and Donald, and visiting his wife Valerie whom he still cares for deeply but no longer lives with. When Jessie arrives from the provinces to stay with Ian, Maurice sees an opportunity to reignite some of his lost youth and vigor through their shared companionship. Although Jessie initially seems more interested in pursuing her own unrealistic dreams than caring for Ian, she eventually forms a genuine connection with Maurice, leading both characters to reevaluate their priorities and confront their fears.
