For Hy, Joel Meyerowitz's 87-year-old father, who's living with Alzheimer's, the memories aren't always there, the names of his children vanish in the air, and he has imaginary conversations with invisible people. But in this simple, unassuming, impossible-to-forget documentary by a son about his father and their Lincoln town-car road trip together from Miami Beach to the Bronx, Hy is always fully present -- trying out hipster handshakes with the new tenants of the apartment building where he used to live, warning Joel about dinosaur farts, and laughing about his old pet, Melvin Meyerowitz the Jewish bird. Where the memories are absent, Joel fills them in with family movies and photographs. What results is a portrait of a man whose intermittent spells of disorientation don't make him less of who he is but somehow make him more. At the MFA, November 11 at 12:30 p.m.
