Ladies in Lavender

[Stoneygem]

Yes, it is another post with this title....but I am certain that all the German Maggie-fans will forgive me ;D

Even though I am certain that most of you already own LiL as an import-dvd from the UK, I still like to tell you that "Ladies in Lavender" will hit the cinema screens on October 6th 2005 - It has been renamed for the German market and will be released under the title of "Der Duft von Lavendel" (and no, I'm not even starting on the question if that makes sense or not :

Anyways, for further information and a few lovely pictures, please go to this website www.kino.de/kinofilm.php4?nr=83521&PHPSESSID=11d86dfe5b7e51d28013fe2bf984aa90

Hoping to be the bringer of good news....

Have a good day...Sue

Because MN is about the last place on earth that they show foreign/international films, I was finally able to rent Ladies in Lavender!

I thought it was a very cute, and deeply touching film. I really liked Judi Dench's inner turmoil, and Maggie's uncertainty about dealing with her sister.

I was pleasantly surprised when I brought them film home to find out that Daniel Bruehl was in it as well. I liked him in Goodbye Lenin! which we recently watched in my German class.

One good thing about not getting to these films in the theater is because you get to view all the extras as well. On LiL, there wasn't a whole lot of extras, just a little featurette, but hey, why not? I thought it was interesting and very cool on the director's part that he chose Maggie and Judi for the roles of the sisters, despite the sisters being in their 40s in Locke's story. I thought myself, "I like this guy!"

Well, that is end of ramblings, I should be good and go do my homework.

Tschuss!
