“HOW TO LIVE FOREVER” My rating: C+ (Opening Sept. 9 at the Tivoli)
92 minutes | No MPAA rating
No movie can teach us how to live forever, not even one entitled “How to Live Forever.”
At best Mark Wexler’s documentary offers an generally diverting look at people who have lived to a ripe old age while sprinkling the whole thing with comments from experts in the field of aging.
The results are hardly comprehensive, but with its grab-bag approach and ever-changing focus the film is mildly amusing.
It begins with Wexler visiting the world’s oldest person (she’s 115), followed by a trip to a national convention of funeral directors in Las Vegas (Elvis and Marilyn impersonators, Klingons).
