A Certain Kind of Beauty


Directed by Liz Witham & Nancy Aronie
Produced by Liz Witham & Ken Wentworth

"When you can’t muscle your way through life, what do you do?
A Certain Kind of Beauty is one kind of answer from Dan Aronie, whose battle with Multiple Sclerosis has been diligently and beautifully filmed since his diagnosis six years ago. As every season on Martha’s Vineyard undergoes its ritual of sad and glorious changes Dan, too, undergoes profound change, riding the wild forces at work within him, transforming agony into depth, anger into irony. Humor. And love.

Twenty-seven when his mother, the accomplished writer and author, Nancy Aronie, first began filming him, Dan was a model and aspiring actor, handsome, strong-willed, able-bodied. As his story unfolds through the eyes of people closest to him, you will come to know a man who is no longer built like a rock, but whose heart could move a mountain. A Certain Kind of Beauty is an altogether beautiful film about frailty and strength, the devotion of friends, endurance of a family, and the perseverance of a will so powerful and moving, you will never take anything for granted again. Not love. Not life. Not even tying your shoe."



Dan Aronie is the brother of a friend. There are limited screenings, but if by chance your independent theater is playing it, by all means, invest the cash and do it. It is amazing...
