Old People Driving from
Doran Danoff on
Vimeo.
The documentary
Old People Driving, directed by Shaleece Haas,
is a short film released in 2010 about, well, old people driving. The
film explores the subject of elderly drivers by examining the lives of
two men, Herbert Bauer, age 99, and the filmmaker’s grandfather, Milton
Cavalli, age 96.
The film could be insightful for families with an
older driver, as well for professionals working with such seniors. It
turns the conversation away from stereotypes about crashing codgers, and
powerfully humanizes the older drivers in a way that’s remarkable for a
short film.
Although Old People Driving may be of special interest to
those somehow involved with seniors, it was an enjoyable movie in its
own right. It’s charming without being sappy and succeeded because the
presence of two very interesting and likable characters.
