Ladies in Lavender movie



An English movie definitely. The story is built slowly, layer by layer. Two sisters befriend a mysterious foreigner who washes up on the beach of their 1930's Cornish seaside village. Multi-talented, Judi Dench plays her role wonderfully as Ursula. As the film progresses, you begin to wonder if she is a little slow, mentally handicapped somehow or just incredibly sheltered by her sister. It is actually a sad movie. The young foreigner brings out their maternal instincts while at the same time causes internal conflict with Ursula who has never experienced a love relationship. Very poignant tale.
