Earlier mentions of Michael Haneke's These Two being a tad too close to Sarah Polley's Away From Her can officially be put to rest. Essentially, both films focus on twilight years aged couples dealing with symptoms/consequences of growing old and subsequently coming to terms with it, but while Polley's film works with degenerative disease text, Haneke's film will strike his featured couple with a stroke - making a victim of not one, but two people.In other news, These Two will be shot in February and last for about 40 days, meaning we could see the film released by year's end. Big question is: who will handle the score?
