Today's Rialto Recommends is a wonderful film that we discovered at TIFF in 2017 which subsequently got lost when it was released theatrically. Starring Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy BREATHE brings to life the inspiring true love story between Robin and Diana Cavendish, an adventurous couple who refuse to give up in the face of a devastating disease. When Robin is struck down by polio at the age of 28, he is confined to a hospital bed and given only a few months to live. With the help of Diana's twin brothers (Tom Hollander) and the groundbreaking ideas of inventor Teddy Hall (Hugh Bonneville), Robin and Diana dare to escape the hospital ward to seek out a full and passionate life together - raising their young son, traveling and devoting their lives to helping other polio patients. Rolling Stone said "Andy Serkis directs a brilliant Andrew Garfield in a flawed but moving take on the true story of Robin Cavendish, who defied polio to make a better life for himself and others like him." BREATHE is steaming on AmazonPrime and Kanopy or available to rent for a modest fee from Amazon, Apple, GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu and others HERE.
