I Like It Here

People talk or laugh about aging, its irritations and relentless progression, but rarely confront the reality of dying or being left alone. Nor do they consider the lightness and calmness that can come when the race seems not so crucial. I LIKE IT HERE is about all those things and, finally, about the pleasures of being alive. A leading figure of American independent documentary film, Ralph Arlyck conveys how it feels to look back on your own life, to contemplate your place in an ever-changing world, and what to make of the time that remains.

“I Like It Here is loaded with gentle humor....[Arlyck] is doing precisely what great memoirists do: invite us into their stories as a way of making space for us to reflect on our own.... I’ve seen the movie twice, and both times I found myself moved near tears." ~ Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
