Regardless of who or what you are, we all have one thing in common: we age. How we age is where the differences lie. Welcome to Sun City, Arizona, the first retirement community of its kind in the world for people 55 or older. There are golf courses, extra wide streets, and amenities all geared to an aging but active population. VERY SENIOR–ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING introduces us to some of the residents. Unflinchingly staring mortality in the face, this group of men and women are mostly too busy living to be bothered much about dying. There are elaborate Broadway-style shows to produce, golf to play, sex to be had, and hobbies to pursue. There is even a senior punk band named One Foot In The Grave, whose members perform their hit, Menopause, for you. In short, this is the stuff of life. While the sad realities of aging are present here, so is an uplifting defiance towards them. This documentary is an eye-opener for those who foolishly think “old” means “over.” —C.R.
