RESTLESS at the Violet Crown

Pammy's in town and in this glorious weather we spent the afternoon under the oaks on the 3rd floor terrace eating, drinking, talking.  We headed up to the Violet Crown to see this wonderful film starring Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper.  These are terrific actors beautifully telling a story of grief, loss, fear and love.  Even the dying Annabelle's mother, an alcoholic, is portrayed with enormous empathy.  The kamikaze ghost is a wonderful figure that helps guide this young man through a horrible loss.  Pam and I loved this film but both agreed it was a reach to have Annabelle looking so healthy and beautiful during her last 3 months.  I'm sure it was an artistic choice made by the director.
Following the film we headed over to the 4 Seasons where we ate outdoors, talked, laughed, and were reminded of how happy we are to be together once again.
