A very interesting day!
1. A Tribute to Renee Zellweger—- We saw clips from many of her movies—many of which are ones We have seen. Fun!
Then we got to see “Judy”. We were all thoroughly impressed with her performance. It did not cover her lifespan but focused on the last year of her life when she tried to resurrect her career via concerts in London.
2. “The Two Popes”—Anthony Hopkins & Jonathan Pryce were superb! Really worth seeing. Trailers are out already. Check it out.
3. “A Hidden Life”—Set during WWII in Austria it focused on a farmer in the mountains (gorgeous scenery) who doesn’t want to swear allegiance to Hitler and pays the price. It was long & we assumed we wouldn’t sit thru it all—-but we did! Artistically beautiful. And current in the themes. Based on a real story. Chilling.
4. “Lyrebird”—Set just after WWII Holland—-A Dutch Jew during the allied temporary control of Holland gets on the trail of an art curator accused of selling stolen art to Nazis. Based on a real case. Very interesting!
Great day!
