Preview: How to Live Forever (2011)

Synopsis:

A documentary exploring how human beings can extend their lives, living to impossibly high ages.

• Poster: C-

Review:

I can't imagine a poster like this appealing to many. It seems awfully trite when it's trying to be mildly amusing.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

There are some interesting names in the documentary and perhaps it would appeal to me if I were older. The only thing going for it is something not even advertised. The director is the son of legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler.

Oscar Prospects:

Aging Academy members or friends of Wexler's might be prime targets for a nominating campaign, but I'm not sure this one will make the final cut.

Release Date:
