Sevdalinka

I watched some Serbian love songs at Mosman Art Gallery last week and it warmed my heart.

There were about 50 people in audience and two main musicians and a choir were working together to create such moving music.

There was so much long lost love, unrequited love and imaginative longing in the lyrics there was much to sustain us on the road of romance.

The music speaks for itself. There was a sense of awe about each performer and to top it off they ended the performance with words celebrating the beauty of valuing humanity in the world and of what each person can bring in their humanness and dignity to the table of life.

‘We Live In Time’ (M)

We Live In Time saw me wiping away a mixture of tears to the eye – of both hilarity and sadness. Saw this with my ‘littlest’ sista Liz. It was stunning in its cinematic energy and bounce. Being based on a sexy relationship between Andrew Garfield (Tobias) & Florence Pugh (Almut) it explores as a minitheme various aspects of fertility and health through a dark and lit lens. The action results in some memorable scenes of human interactions caught in moments of strife and the buzz of family life. A great film to see.
