Oh boy oh boy oh boy do I LOVE 'The Dish'!
I first saw it at the Angelika Cinema in New York City. (So cosmopolitano!) Loved it.
Then The Artist bought us a copy of the soundtrack. Loved it.
Then I bought the film on DVD. Loved it.
Then the other day Herself was out being important and having a life, and me and the Hound were on the sofa feeling a bit sorry for ourselves, with our heads between our paws. But we found 'The Dish', on cable, so we sat and watched with some chocolate and soon our ears pricked up and we were feeling much better.
You see, The Dish is one of those movies that suggests the essential quirky goodness of the world. It sits somewhere between Cynical and Pollyanna (though more on the Pollyanna end, if truth be known) and thus has something in common with Yours Truly. This admission will not be a surprise to Regular Readers.
Sam Neill, a vast Dish in the middle of a sheep field, a town of Aussie eccentrics, and a wonderful 60s soundtrack. Beat that with a stick. It's funny, it's moving, it's about LIFE, and it's got a couple of world class jokes in it, too.
Have I mentioned that I love it?
The Dish. Watch it and tell me I'm wrong.
