MrsMurphy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 It felt rather decadent but, all chores completed, I sloped off to the cinema at 10 this morning. Go see the film "Snow Cake". It is beautiful, sad, uplifting and thought provoking. I cried the whole way through (and also smiled a lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 How lovely - going to the cinema during the day when others are at work is a real treat isnt it What's snow cake about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMurphy Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I love daytime movie-going. We have a great 80-seat all digital cinema up the road which shows quite a few foreign films and the more art-housey ones as well as the occasional blockbuster. I don't want to spoil things, but in brief, Alex has issues. He is in a car accident and ends up at Lynda's house. She is a high-functioning autistic woman in a snowy Canadian town. It is about the bond that grows between them and the different ways in which they deal with tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks for that. I've watched a couple of interviews with Sigourney Weaver promoting the film and I have to say that I think it sounds interesting. I think that it might be a slope off and watch alone film for me too- there's no way hubby would sit through anything involving emotions, issues or Kleenex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Sounds pretty grim but I suppose it could be worse - Tony Blair might still be Prime Minister... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I read the book - Children of Men - several years ago. It is definitely thought-provoking and given the circumstances (barren women) the consequence of finding a fertile woman is believable. I'#d go to see it out of interest.
