I saw the beginning of the film when I was on the plane to Japan but I didn't get as far as what sounds like the interesting stuff. I was turned off by the caricatured figures of the English organiser of the Chelsea Flower Show, and indeed many of the others.... but it would have been worth persevering as I would have liked very much to see the Ethiopian scenes and also I am rather a fan of magical realism. Oh well...I did see some other very good films on that flight! :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-17204313284324261622016-10-27T22:12:21.024+01:002016-10-27T22:12:21.024+01:00It is a visual treat Mary - a real girls film.It is a visual treat Mary - a real girls film.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-66321465047102718992016-10-27T14:51:33.380+01:002016-10-27T14:51:33.380+01:00I want so much to see this beautiful movie - can&#...I want so much to see this beautiful movie - can't locate it over here yet (and not on Netflix) so will make a note and hopefully it will show up soon!<br />Thanks for the heads up dear Rosemary.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-82260798165773404792016-10-24T22:06:36.407+01:002016-10-24T22:06:36.407+01:00I think that you would enjoy seeing it Janey - it ...I think that you would enjoy seeing it Janey - it has some delightful locations to see in the film.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-18902025175946951682016-10-24T20:57:11.570+01:002016-10-24T20:57:11.570+01:00I will check and see if the film is showing here. ...I will check and see if the film is showing here. looks lovely. janeyJaney and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14263426600052174272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-56793492413353113682016-10-24T18:40:17.964+01:002016-10-24T18:40:17.964+01:00The film is on in the cinemas at the moment Sarah ...The film is on in the cinemas at the moment Sarah - it is a film that I heard nothing or read anything about at all.

So disappionting when you've been looking forward to something special to have it cancelled. But then again, it was done for your safety and hopefully you'll be able to go when things have calmed down which we hope will be in a not too far future. And maybe this film can be a beautiful reminder of what will be awaiting you. It seems like a beautiful film. Definitely one I would like to see so thank you very much for this sweet Rosemary. I'll be looking out for it here in Sweden. :)<br /><br />Take care my dear friend and I hope you're enjoying just as a beautiful and colorful October as we do here in Sweden. It's pure magic. :)<br /><br />Charlie<br />xxThe Swedish Wildflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12398720793193804220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-11930372332248080982016-10-24T15:21:26.951+01:002016-10-24T15:21:26.951+01:00Serendipity!
