[Aging in solitude: between immanence and rebirth].

Aging is often equated with a time of decline, evoking the need to slow down and infuse one's life with a certain wisdom. Drawing inspiration from the film Louise in Winter and drawing on a philosophy of existence, while highlighting the virtues of cinema, we will show that living through old age does not simply mean coming to terms with the effects of aging. We will borrow terms from a philosophy of living that encourages us instead to view late life as an opportunity to defy linearity and prevailing conformity in order to lay the foundations for a second life. Thus, aging does not merely invite us to tend to our frailties. It is also a time to choose to express our subjectivity in a different way, with authenticity. To take care of this stage of life is thus to nurture all the things that give it meaning -the meaning sought by the biographical subject.
