Sažetak
In last decades we are witnessing the gowing interest for psychiatric and neurological disorders to be filmed in Hollywood (high profile) movies, but also in European, Asian and Indian "Bollywood" film industry. Surprisingly, the list of movies dealing with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or dementia is pretty long. Maybe the first one or one of the first movies on this topic was I Never Sang for My Father (1970), long time after this one came out the movie Age Old Friends (1989). In the year 2001 a powerfully realistic and emotional film Iris based on the life of the famous British novelist and philosophical writer, Iris Murdoch, who deteriorates because of her AD was produced. Same year Japanese film Firefly Dremas and Swedish movie A Song for Martin was relished. Other movies on AD wich we should not miss are The Notebook (2004), Sundowing (2005), Aurora Borealis (2006), Away From Her (2006), The Savages (2007). Les known but worth seeing movies on AD are Korean A Moment to Remember (2004), Brithish Ex Memoria (2006), Spanish Y tu quien eres? (2007), Japanese Ashita no Kioku )Memories of Tomorrow) (2007), and three Indian films Black (2005), Thanmathra (2005), and U Me aur Hum (You, me and us) (2008). All those movies coming out from non- Hollywood production are very important for the coutries of their origin because they are bringing knowledge, raising awareness, fighting stigma and highlighting the problems that are people with dementia and their carers facing.
