The Old Maid

A look back into a time gone by, quaint, quiet, fun in a subtle way, unrushed and relaxing. Many enjoyable details and references to that particular age in time which may not appeal to a younger audience (who may well be offended) but nevertheless has quite an authentic air to it.

I enjoyed the many scenes around the table in the dining room where people day after day are joined in communal dining which was common back around those days, jere I think more of 60s than 70s.

The most interesting aspects are not what is being said in words but in gestures and facial expressions.

Watching this movie is like time travelling, like enjoying the bouquet from a bottle of 1972 Cornas that is but a shadow of its youth but nevertheless charming and interesting.
