Critics have been unkind to this film — I think people just won’t accept older people having sexual feelings. Anyway, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench play spinster sisters between the wars in a little seaside cottage who go all gaga for a mysterious Polish violin player. It’s a lovely, subtle little film. The music is terrific and the sound system at the Paris is terrific, leading my father to remark, again and again, “It’s like a symphony orchestra in here!”
