We recently watched a couple of rather off-beat little movies. Both were enjoyable.
The first, "Ladies in Lavender" stars Judy Dench and Maggie Smith, so how could it go wrong? Add to that the musical performances of Joshua Bell and the fine acting of Daniel Bruhl, and it was well worth watching. It's an interesting story about two elderly sister in a house by the sea, where a mysterious, foreign young man washes ashore. They nurse him to health, introduce him to their Cornwall village, and struggle quietly with their own fears of aging, loss of youth, and prejudices.
The second film, entitled in French "Le Chateau de ma Mere", was beautiful and endearing. It is a simple story of boyhood adventure and family life, complete with quirky characters, laughter and tears. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful little film about the impact we have on one another's lives, you might look for this one.
I hope you all get to watch something interesting and uplifting this weekend!
