However you reacted to Marley & Me, prepare to be hit by a crashing wave of emotion.

Denali is a tribute, a love letter, a farewell between two best friends; they have both been ravaged by cancer, but only one has survived it.

As a message of loyalty and love, of celebrating life and reliving happy memories, Denali is a powerful and poignant piece filled with humour as a remedy for anger and despair.

Shot simply with sun-dappled video interspersed with photos, this is a beautifully created monument to the unbreakable bond, both personal and universal, between one man and his dog.

Moonlighting as a reviewer and editor, I'm more at home with recent films than golden oldies and enjoy appreciating the technical achievements as much as the escapism of the movies. Happy to try any film once, if only for fifteen minutes. I also volunteer with MediCinema - a charity which every film fan should look into if they don't already know about.
