"A novel that has as its main character an Old Lady who is liberated from the boredom of her secure life at an eccentric home for elderly ladies when given a hearing trumpet — and whose wish to go to the North pole before she dies comes true in the most unlikely fashion — has to be good. Even though she is better known as one of the best painters of Surrealism Leonora Carrington’s novels and short stories have had a strong influence on feminist and fantastic fiction. Constantly entertaining and unpredictable The Hearing Trumpet is infused with warmth and rebellion in equal measures."

I thought about ending it...halfway through

It’s a month later, and I’m still wondering where this movie was going. Maybe I’m just not deep enough. Maybe my family was in the middle of a mental health crisis and I just couldn’t tolerate anything other than minimal plot and/or explosions. I liked the concept, but was disappointed in the end result. Summary: it was weird. By the time we got to the scene with the animated pig, I was pretty exasperated. I loved the music and the dance scene, however. So I just upgraded it from a 4 to a 6.
