Isabel Coixet's Mi Vida Sin Me (My Life Without Me) is a tale of a woman dying before her time. Sarah Polley plays Ann, a 24-year-old mother of two. Ann is married to Don (Scott Speedman), and they live near Ann's mother (Deborah Harry), who is bitter about the fact that Ann's father is serving a ten-year prison sentence. Ann learns that she has only a few months to live. She makes a series of goals to complete before her time on Earth comes to an end. Among her accomplishments are taking a lover (Mark Ruffalo), finding someone to care for Don, and recording birthday greetings for her two daughters. My Life Without Me was screened in competition at the Berlin Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Isabel Coixet's low-key melodrama My Life Without Me comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Supplemental materials include a 30-minute making-of featurette that features extensive interview footage with Coixet, as well as stars Sarah Polley, Scott Speedman, Mark Ruffalo, and Amanda Plummer. Trailers for this film, as well as Robert Altman's The Company, Errol Morris' Fog of War, and the award-winning animated The Triplets of Belleville round out this fine package from Columbia/TriStar. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
