DEAR FRIENDS:

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1) MUSIC OF THE HEART– 1999. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “After being abandoned by her husband, depressed music teacher Roberta (Meryl Streep) lands a job teaching violin to underprivileged children in Harlem, New York. Despite initial friction from school principal Janet Williams (Angela Bassett) and the students, the program succeeds and attracts public recognition. After 10 years, however, the program is suddenly shut down following budget cuts — and Roberta, together with Williams and her former pupils, works to hold a fund-raising concert.”

NEW MOVIES IN THEATERS AND/OR STREAMING-

1) ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES- Set in Italy during WWII, American Army Col. Richard Cantwell, is a bona fide war hero who faces news of his terminal illness with stoic disregard. Determined to spend his weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver to facilitate what is likely a final duck hunting trip and visit to his old haunts in Venice. As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a young countess begins to kindle in him the hope of renewal. Based on the last full-length novel Hemingway published in his lifetime, Across The River and Into The Trees captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still. The story contains the great Hemingway themes of love, war, youth and age.

8/30/24- Just a few early reviews and they are very good. I liked it and Schreiber is great as usual. TRDB.
