A Two Film Weekend

Daughter Number One has been home for the week and we've watched a couple of films with her this weekend. One is newish and recommended, the other one of the all-time greats.

Bad Education is an HBO production which premiered on television during the lockdown. I'm not sure whether that disqualifies it from consideration for the major cinematic awards - a pity if it does because there is top-grade work on dislay from Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney. It is that most necessary and rewarding of things - an American morality tale. Good stuff. 76/100. 

The all-time great? A movie that pushed the cinematic horizon and remains to this day a thing of beauty to look at. Two million sketches were produced in the making of the film and a quarter of a million final paintings. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 96/100.

DN1 will be heading back to that London tonight. I will miss her, just as I miss DN2 who is hunkered down in locked-down Manchester. The Two Man Idiot Show is out of town but there is always a welcome for it here at Casa Piggy.
