Body: This movie is remarkably done in script, story, acting, cinemaphotography, emotion.. it's still swirling in my head the unjust life of many widows *still* in India today. This film was part of a summer documentary series at a local theatre, however this film was shot more like drama. It is so tragically beautiful. I highly recommend this film.

Body: Love happens at every age and should not be disregarded even when the object of one’s love is someone much younger. It’s a difficult theme to explore when you, yourself have not experienced the fullness of love. That is if you define such fullness as marriage, as the commitment of another soul so enraptured with you that they need to be connected with you all their lives; a love so deep that it conquers all other fears, insecurities, and misgivings within oneself; within yourself. When I was younger, I was definitely more drawn to the physical but now that I’m older I’m more attracted to the mind. A mind of a romantic heart, of an adventurous soul, of someone with antagonizing thoughts who considers both sides of issues respecting others yet searching how they can be a part of the solution.. This mind can live in a man who is only 27, or 34, or 47.. Consideration knows no age. Romanticism knows no bounds. It seems entirely natural of course except why is it that society shuns older men when they hit on women 20 years their junior? Well, most of those men are not searching for a wise mind to be sure. But seriously, what lets those men think they have a chance? What allows me to gaze upon or be drawn into the words of a man ten years my junior and think that my affection will be reciprocated more than out of politeness? We remain the same as we grow older. We get smarter, we learn from our experiences, we experience pain, but deep down we remain young in our hearts. I always joke that I am “26” because, well, I feel 26. Granted, the grey hairs popping out all over the crown of my head don’t make me look 26, nor do the crow’s feet smiling at the corners of my eyes, yet I’m drawn to men likely too young to consider. Oh, I’m very much attracted to men my own age as well, however, they are mostly married or chasing younger women! So it was with related sadness as I watched Judy Dench in the film, Ladies in Lavender, how she fell in love with a boy surely thirty years younger than she. She dreamed about him, not as she was, but as if she were a young woman, as if she had no love in her youth that she could hold onto, as if she waited for a man who never came, until now. Of course she eventually recognized this silliness, but it didn’t take away the yearning and affection in her heart. The film was sweet in this way as well as beautifully filmed off the coast of England. It moved a little slow perhaps, though slow as the lives of these older women, sisters played by Judy Dench and Maggie Smith, would pace themselves. In that way we lived in the dailies of these women and through this most unusual of experiences.

Body: Sometimes just the mere mention of a favorite vacation spot can send memories flushing your consciousness removing you from space and time revelling in stolen glances, scents, starry skies, mountain vistas, and pleasant thoughts. I often will seek out a movie that is filmed in one (or more) of my favorite vacation spots. Only You, starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Marisa Tomei is a charming annoying romance that takes you briefly to Venice, San Giminano, Rome, then spends a couple of breathless days in the coastal town of Positano. I like to describe Positano, well the entire Almafi Coast as a place where the mountains meet the sea with surprise. There are beautiful beaches of course, but step two feet into the water and it's surely 50 to 100 feet deep! I spent four glorious days alone in Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello in 2000 and can't wait to go back with someone -or alone, it's such a romantic fantastical place where you can get lost within your own thoughts or someone else's eyes. So I'll forgive a film like Only You for it's immature Faith Corvatch chasing a ouija board dream because of the beautiful filming in Italy. Do you have a film that you might watch again and again only because of the scenery? I'd love to hear your story.

Body: Audrey Tautou is once again fabulous in this beautiful love story heart wrenching on so many levels. I enjoy movies written around the lives of men and women during any world war. This film made me cry actually.. and I hate to cry at a film. I think you will find this endearing and precious. I don't want to say anymore of the plot.. It's typical of the work this director produces and I think you'll seek his work as well as Audrey's in more movies [if not already]! Sad views of the front lines simulating those between the French and Germans, created not in France, but it Eastern Europe [will have to listen to director's comments again to recall]... Beautiful views all around France recreated of course like the Musee Dorsay.. which will delight anyone who has also visited this museum. The film is beautiful in it's hope and mystery, like a poem through out.

Body: There really was a beauty academy created in Kabul to teach Afghan women how to cut, perm, massage, style, and pamper hair! American stylists created the academy to teach women, create a community of hair dressers, and as they said, to "save one woman at a time". The film was very touching, funny, and distressing all at once as you glimpsed the lives of these women through salon tours and interviews. I hadn't realized that this would be a documentary going in. It was very charming that these American women, some Afghan American, would find it so important that these skills be taught and nurtured.. My most memorable quote of the whole movie is from a young 25ish single woman who when asked about marriage replied, "I would never marry for love. If a man falls in love with me, that means he can fall in love with any woman."
