Seraphina. The latest Netflix film to download to my Roku. While booming firecrackers rained down all around Moss Cottage I sat transfixed by this beautiful movie.
And this Greek film...A Touch Of Spice Cooking, spices, astronomy, love, Istanbul. It's all in here.





























I love foreign films! Thank you for introducing me to two new ones. Can't wait.

LOVED Seraphina! I could turn off the sound and just watch. But the sound was nice too. Loved her expanded apartment, her art, HER! How refreshing to see such a fiercely real woman, instead of the sanitized Hollywood version. Beauty Abounds! Just added Touch of Spice to my Netflix acct. Thanks for sharing! And the martini looks wonderful, patriotic! xo Fran

I too fell madly in love with Séraphina!
I saw in the "special features" section (which is as good as the movie) that there's a finely crafted soundtrack as well. More music? ...well yes, thank you..,

I saw Seraphina and found it all totally enthralling..I am going to try to see the Greek one also.

Will have to check out Seraphina. We have A Touch of Spice on DVD (gifted my husband with it last year) and it is such an amazing movie!

Loved this movie! I watched it when it showed at the Portland Art Museum theater a year or so ago. Yes, it's true...I got to watch Seraphina on the big screen. :-)

Oh, thank you. I will truly try to watch these. I am such a country pumpkin/bumpkin in the boonies so far away from society and the availability to just drop in.
Such beauty. Thank you, e.

Thanks for the suggestions. I watched "Bread and Tulips" on the 3rd via Netflix so there was a mini foreign film festival chez nous.

Thanks for the great movie recommendations...
We are going to Istanbul in September and one way I get ready for travel is to watch movies from or about the area we are visiting. Just put Touch of Spice on my Netflix list : )

What a treat it is to find like-minded and liked-movieminded people in blogland! I love your blog, and now to find another person, not to mention the folks that commented, who loved Seraphina!! Oh to be in France and painting! Oh wait a minute, I can paint anywhere!
Love,
