A passionate and important documentary with real depth and warmth. Giuseppe Tommasi is 44. He has AIDS, cancer, two teenage children and a heroin addiction, and 'Time Of Closure' is about his death and his life leading up to it - it's a sincere, unique, and beautiful film. Giuseppe knows he only has a few months left, and director and cinematographer Mehdi Sahebi achieves something astonishing – he immortalises the mortality of a gentle, loving and troubled man in the last months of his life as he searches for meaning and peace.
