Patricia Rozema's 'I've Heard the Mermaids Singing'. It was in my first year-end Top 10 back in 1988, along with a lot of weird art-house fare I've not revisited (Nic Roeg's Track 29, anyone?). Would be very intrigued to see if I still loved it now...
tiny tiny film. i also saw in arthouses. so small blockbuster didn't get it when it came out on video and I had to put it on this sheet they used to have with requests for movies they didn't have. Way back in zee 80s
Just seeing the photo of this on your blog this morning made me squeal out loud with pleasure. I haven't thought about this film in ages, and I enjoyed it so much when I saw it. Thanks for the memories!
What a lovely movie this was! I saw it in its orig release at a tiny art house in Atlanta as a teenager. 'I've Heard the Mermaids Singing':)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those films that I never got. I couldn't stand it. Too precious.
ReplyDeleteApoligies for ignorance, but what's this from?
