IT TAKES A VILLAGE

I wanted to talk today about movies. One of my favorite genres is the English Village Movie. This week we net-flixed Calendar Girls. Inthe spirit of Waking Ned Devine, Saving Grace, and Kinky Boots, the movie embraces the English countryside, seashore, the local pub, and real life characters. The premise is wonderful for a girl staring down 50. It is based on a true story. "The Women of York are like flowers, beautiful at every stage, but the most glorious is near the end. Right before they go to seed." Brilliant.
