Lupins and 2 digitalis

8°C, unbroken clear sky.


Patience: very impressive film seen at The Electric Cinema. We had the luxury seats; sofas with waitress service (orders by text message). High points- the acting worked wonderfully, especially the lead character’s mother who had a role that could easily have been overdone. It wasn’t, it worked. The low points- maybe my failing, but I struggle with New York accents sometimes, so some passages of dialogue were lost on me. The problem for me is it sounds like they only pronounce the first half of each word. It’s all quite mumbling. They probably know this though; it was parodied in the film Dick Tracy (1990), remember the character ‘Mumbles’?
