What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[€uroMeinke]

Last night we saw a screening of The Servant, at the Egyptian Theater. The film set in early 60's London was definately swanky. The film itself full of inuendo and tensions between class ans sexuality was delightful. I will have to own this one.

The other big plus about seeing it, was it is the main basis for Mathew Bourne's Play without Words, which we are going to see Sunday, and Mathew Bourn was at the screening talking about the movie and his works. I'm always delighted by these interviews, especially of those engaged in creative works. One of the best take aways, was a statement he made about creating his piece, that it was intended originally as an experimental work, and thus gave him a "chance to fail," so he took much greater risks than he might have otherwise, and as a result made something incredible unique and so far, unexpectedly popular.

I can't wait till Sunday.
