In The Villages (the largest retirement home in America, dubbed Florida’s “Disneyland for retirees”) the good life is waiting, with manicured lawns, synchronized swimming, nightly dancing, and pickleball.
Over 130,000 residents have bought into this packaged piece of paradise, and while most move to The Villages to live out their twilight years, the community is not short of swingers, drugs, dating, scandal, and seniors behaving badly. People don’t go there to die – they go there to live. But once you go in, it’s near impossible to get out.
Produced by Darren Aronofsky and the New York Times, Floridian filmmaker Lance Oppenheim’s debut delicately balances this absurdly outlandish setting with a deeply human, stereotype challenging, and vibrantly real experience.
"Highly entertaining…those nostalgic for the fond portraits of eccentric Americana in Errol Morris’ early work — and pretty much everyone else — will be delighted by the film.” - Variety
