Carnage

Last night, Mr LFH and I went to see Carnage at Warwick Arts Centre.  It was a really good film, starring Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet, directed by Roman Polanski.

Here is a video trailer.................



After the film, we went to the Mead Gallery, and saw a marvellous exhibition of modern art called The Indiscipline of Painting.  There was some brilliant art by Bridget Riley and Andy Warhol.  My personal favourite was a huge canvas by John Armleder, full of glittery drips, very similar to this work of his.......


The gallery holds a weekly knit, crochet and stitch group, and on one wall there were framed pieces of knitting that the group had created in response to the exhibition, like modern art in knitted form!  Here is an example of their work..........................



I found it very interesting, although it would be a bit too far for me to drive to every week.

Today, we are chilling out.  A big casserole is bubbling happily away in the slow cooker for tonight - pork and white wine casserole, based on Jamie Oliver's casserole recipe in Ministry of Food.  

I hope you are having a good weekend.

Wow, that looks like one hell of an emotional film, two great actors there, (the women I mean) :o) I love art galleries, could spend hours looking round them.
