I just watched this fantastic little film on Netflix called ONE WEEK. It stars Joshua Jackson as a man who discovers he has type four cancer. Rather than seek immediate treatment he purchases a motorcycle and ventures out into the Canadian wilderness to find one great adventure before he gives in to the life and possible death of a Cancer Patient. The narration is host to a very Stranger Than Fiction feel, but with a more melon collie awareness of the subject manner. Its quiet, subdued and sweet with just enough humor to glue the film together. As someone who is obsessed with dying, it shows that we are not alone in our fears, and it begs the question... "What if you only had one week to live?" Thank you universe for throwing this in my path today. I think I'll follow it up with a little MOTORCYCLE DIARIES.
