Rolling: The Sapphires

Fabulous film.

Gosh, H. was right.

"You will love this movie," he said. He is like my own personal movie chooser sometimes.

It was so good! It takes place in 1968 and it's about...well, I'm tired, just took pains to revise a work file and then somehow lost it, so too tired to try to describe the delicious plot. Let me go online to hopscotchfilms.com:

The Sapphires is set in the heady days of the late '60s...about a quartet of young, talented singers from a remote Aboriginal mission, discovered and guided by a kind-hearted, soul-loving manager. Plucked from obscurity, the four spirited women with powerhouse voices-- called The Sapphires--are given the opportunity to entertain American troops in Vietnam....The Sapphires is an adaptation of the hugely successful Australian stage musical of the same name, and is inspired by the remarkable true story of writer Tony Briggs' mother and three aunts. Receiving a 10- minute standing ovation at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, The Sapphires is a crowd-pleasing combination of comedy, heart and romance and an unbeatable soul music soundtrack, set against the racial and social upheaval of the late 1960s. 

I love the the relationship between the women. They're outspoken, angry, jealous, forceful, competitive, yet love each other. If that makes sense. It's just all out in the open. They really let their hair down. Also great glimpse of 1960s hair, makeup and clothing!!!!

Must sleep. Good night.
