Already celebrated for his short films, Ken Wardrop here translated his distinctive documentary style to his first feature, an endearing documentary which sees seventy women of all ages tell the camera their feelings about the men in their lives. Adopting a sequential structure from youngest to oldest, His & Hers traces a range of feelings these women hold towards their partners, boyfriends, husbands, and sons, creating a love story that reaches back almost a century and resonates across the years. Heart-warming and honest in its vision of love making the ordinary extraordinary, this inventive use of the documentary form garnered the film a World Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010.
