I went to watch it at the Siskel Center with my mom on Wednesday. I’d say it was a success in terms of that my mom didn’t complain about “how she couldn’t understand anything.’ What was even more impressive is that after I sent to her a short description of the movie, she googled it and read more information, and was very well prepared. And she was able to read the closing remarks about the later years of Widow Clicquot, so we had a meaningful discussion on our way back home. I am always glad when I can find something stimulating for her, and get some fresh reactions.
I expected a little bit more from that movie; I liked it, but I didn’t “love-love” it. Now, I am waiting for a premier of “Sisi”- it should start in a week, but the Siskel Center still didn’t announce the showtimes.
