The Movie for 2010 has yet to be selected
In 2006 it was Ladies in Lavender
Two aging spinster sisters, whose cottage by the sea in 1936 Cornwall afforded uneventful beach walks, reading, sewing and tea time, come upon a handsome, half-dead young man washed ashore after a violent storm. They (Ursula, Dame Judi Dench and Janet, Dame Maggie Smith) nurse him back to health, disregarding suspicions of the locals during pre-war times in England. When the talented Polish violinist develops a friendship with a visiting beautiful Russian artist, anti-foreign phobia increases. Humor, period detail, myriad subtleties, the invitingly homey yet windswept otherness of the locale and time are of great importance, and music is a key component with violin passages that are emotionally stunning. But, the film belongs to two of the greatest thespians ever.
