Ladies in Lavender (2004)
Just as it’s fun to see real life couples acting together on the screen, it’s also fun to see real life friends in the same movie. Maggie Smith and Judi Dench play secluded friends who live together in a cozy cottage by the sea. Movies like this one make you want to take a seaside vacation, or to remove yourself from society altogether and rent a little hut without electricity.
In Ladies in Lavender, they play sisters with a very nice routine in their little cottage and uneventful lives. After a storm, they find a surprise: a man washed ashore and unconscious. They drag Daniel Bruhl inside and nurse him back to health. But as he stays on as a guest, and a very charming guest who injects fresh air into the little cottage, both sisters become attached to him. Can a man really come between sisters, even when they’ve reached their sunset years? It’s never too late for attraction and jealousy to get in the way, even with the very best of friends. If the plot sounds interesting, you’ll probably like this one.
