A Good Woman (Lady Windermere's Fan)
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, A Good Woman, movie adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play, Lady Windermere's Fan. Helen Hunt does a fantastic job as the "ruined woman" and scarlet Johansen does okay. It is filmed on the gorgeous Amalfi coast in Italy. I watched it again with Joe who seemed preoccupied with the implied adultery but I loved how he drives his moral lesson home "do not judge" and redemption, etc. come at the end. The characters are descriptively rich and true to their natures. Funny, witty, charming, etc. So many good quotes, like from the playboy bachelor to the married man drunk on their yacht after a big misunderstanding, "We are all lying in the gutter. Some of us are looking at the stars."
