I think I'm finally over a bad cold I caught Wednesday. Much of this weekend I spent drinking water, coconut water (Harmless Harvest makes the best!) and eating lots of soup. I finished Caldwell's Tobacco Road and read Gene Tierney of all people played Ellie May in John Ford's film adaptation. Caldwell describes Ellie May as ugly in the face with a hair-lip. This may be the only time you see the word ugly any place near Gene Tierney. From what I gather Ford's film is much much different than the novel.
Today I recovered enough strength to go the cinema and see
Two Days, One Night. I went expecting a great film and was not disappointed at all. In customary Dardenne fashion it's a slice of working class life with modesty and restraint. They never tell you how to feel but they give you something to think about.
Oh, yeah, Marion Cotillard is not too bad either.
