Episode 3: Clarissa Explains It All

This week we continued Vanessa Redgrave May (and yeah, wiseacre, it's now July, wanna fight about it?) with 1997's Mrs. Dalloway. In addition to our girl Ness, this one also had one Ms. Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), which is always a real treat.

I said I'd get the damn flowers myself.

A few notes: 

• If you're not already a reader of Maria Popova's brilliant blog, Brain Pickings, getcha life hunni. There's a good amount of posts, actually, about Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf as well as Vita and her other boo, Violet Trefussis.
• Read the book. Just read the book. It's a good book.
• Should we watch Orlando at some point? Stay tuned.

Lindsay's take: 3 out of 5 feathered hats. Vanessa did a dope job as usual, but this may just be one of those stories that's a little better as a book. 

Molly's take: 3.5 out of 5 flower arrangements. Vanessa Redgrave's cheekbones. Lena Headey's cheekbones. Lovely smiles. A relatively true to text adaptation. An investor losing the house over this movie. You really gotta give it to them.
