LOS ANGELES (AP) - Becoming big in Hollywood has never been Sarah Polley's agenda. It shows in her acting choices, almost exclusively small, intimate tales made far outside the American studio system.
And it shows in the actress' directing debut with "Away From Her," a mature, thoughtful but downbeat drama about a woman (Julie Christie) succumbing to Alzheimer's and the impact it has on her husband (Gordon Pinsent).
The film opens Friday, a bit of counter-programming to the blockbuster debut expected for "Spider-Man 3."
