　　Recorded by Chinese-born Canadian documentarian Wang Yinan during a ten-month odyssey across his adoptive nation, Being Towards Death i s a singularly Canadian rhapsody that weaves together the stark voices of an otherwise unconnected - and certainly unsung - set of Canadians, whose ages range from one to 100. Confronted with a standard battery of frank questions about life, and shot statically against the backdrop in their homes or workplaces, this film's mundane stars open up to a stranger about their everyday struggles with work, love, loss and in so doing offer fascinating insights into what it means to live.
