The Age of Adaline (2015)
A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.
Tastefully made fantasy romance drama with good performances by Lively and Ford gives its unusual premise a convincing execution, but it's more tearjerker than a serious exploration of life and mortality.

They'll Love Me When I'm Dead (2018)
In the final fifteen years of the life of legendary director Orson Welles he pins his Hollywood comeback hopes on a film, The Other Side of the Wind, in itself a film about an aging film director trying to finish his last great movie.
Fascinating report about the making and tragedy of a film never fully finished, in itself a cinematic odyssey, full of remarkable insights in the movie industry and the working style of Orson Welles, actually more interesting and suspenseful than the actual product, The Other Side of the Wind.

The Fountain of Youth (1958)
A couple is conflicted when they are offered a chance at youth.
Interesting and fascinating experimental TV pilot gives Welles a chance to turn an otherwise quite pulpy script into a more elaborate attempt, made with wit and a Brechtian approach.
