On Saturday night, as Oscar season approaches, Claire and I watched
La La Land, the movie which nearly won last year. It was alright, but both of us were surprised about its adulation. It is no
Singin' in the Rain or
Cabaret (neither of which won the Oscar either). What impressed me most were the long takes and the not quite Hollywood ending (but with a nod to
Casablanca).
Accompanying this was a bottle of Rhubarb Wine, which is always a winner. We stretched the bottle from Saturday to Wednesday, which is unheard of. I had one glass on Sunday after a glass of real red, and the contrast made me realise quite how sweet my homemade wines are.
