If you want to learn about the last quarter of Aldous Huxley's life and his relationship with his second wife, you would be better off reading "This Timeless Moment" which Laura Huxley wrote in 1968 when she was young, the events were fresh in her mind, and she worked with an editor.
This documentary preserves some of Laura's memories, but they are not in a coherent order. The effort comes across more like a home movie than a documentary. Lots of footage of Laura Huxley walking around her home and yard, exercising, and playing with her grandnieces and grandnephews. She is not seriously interviewed, but gives a stream of consciousness narration about her life based on whatever objects in her home prompt a recollection. As a result, the movie runs a bit long.
Some things that might have been interesting were not pursued. There is a photo of Orson Welles dining in their home. What was it like to have him as a house guest? We'll never know. The director didn't ask.
Because Aldous Huxley died so long ago, the filmmaker resorts to interviewing people who did not know him but have something to say about him. Nick Nolte is one of the stranger talking heads, appearing because he allegedly starred in a movie version of Aldous Huxley's, "The Genius and the Goddess." No such movie can be found in imdb under general titles, films based on Huxley's writings, or films in which Nick Nolte acted.
This movie desperately needs subtitles and does not have them. Laura Huxley has a strong accent that caused some content to be lost.
