Local Cinema - Souvenir
This is the film that Alison turned down - so I had to coerce George into coming with me.
I think it's fair to say that this is a girlie art film so not G's cup of tea one bit. Actually I was pretty lucky to find it being able to catch it locally at all (at the Leatherhead theatre which now shows films - local theatre venues always in a position of trying to keep the wolf from the door). In fact, I think in the end George was quite taken with it, and gratified (as was I) that the heroine - however emotionally broken - was not ultimately dragged down to the gutter by her passion for a no-good chap*
* Excellently portrayed by the lovely Tom Burke - in fact the cast was stellar including Tilda Swinton, acting with her daughter Honor Swinton Byrne who took the lead role.
