“Before Leaving,” a fresh new documentary on the seldom-explored realms of old age, pushes us into the hustling, bustling, carpe diem atmosphere of… a French nursing home?

Could it be that unlike such current multiplex haunting youth fodder as “The Fast and The Furious” and “Scooby Doo”, “Before Leaving” is a subtitled foray into the lives of elderly nursing home patients?
