dinner and a movie: The Girl in the Cafe
November 21, 2008From time to time, we have breakfast for dinner. Pancakes, link sausages, eggs, sometimes fried potatoes. No potatoes this time due to work. A family member cuts up everything and mixes it all together in a disgusting mass with syrup. I can’t watch, hence the handiness of a dinner movie.
The film is a charmer. After recently seeing State of Play, it was fascinating to see two stars from that series in different roles. If The Band’s Visit dealt with awkwardness, The Girl in the Cafe is a study in different sorts of vexing situations. But wonderfully realized and acted.
