My friend and I went to see Judy Collins yesterday, and was she ever terrific! She's got a huge mane of white hair now, but is still slim and gorgeous, with those ice blue eyes. Her voice is still excellent, and she gave a very generous show. We had both seen her when we were young, and it was delightful to see her going strong at seventy plus. It was also just fun to do something like that on Sunday afternoon, instead of shopping or reading. My friend is spontaneous and enthusiastic, and it means we do a lot of fun things spur of the moment. She makes my life more interesting.
Last night we watched a Wes Anderson film, Darjleeng Limited. I am a huge fan of his movies, and my husband must have been in a goofy mood, because he suggested seeing it, as he never had. I especially like this movie. Three brothers, ignored and wounded by their parents, attempt a spiritual journey in India. Though they do everything possible to create a disaster, in the end, they do heal a bit and learn what they need to learn. It gives me a kick that their mother, played by Angelica Huston, looks like she would be their mother, maybe except for Jason Swartzman. Adrian Brody is surprisingly touching in this film, and the center of the power of the acting.
I'm looking forward to the new Wes Anderson coming out, with Ralph Fiennes. It looks hilarious.
