Seed para (from NYT Style section):
The film, directed by Marc Forster, weaves together a tragic family story and the creation of Barrie's greatest artistic triumph. Out in theaters in October, ''Neverland'' is eloquently sentimental, a movie that beautifully depicts the link between art and life, where influences overlap and inspire.
''I loved the script,'' Winslet recalled, ''but I'm not sure Johnny even knew my work.'' She laughed at the memory. Winslet was calling from her car, which was parked outside her house in London. ''This is the only place I can get any privacy,'' she explained. Just outside the car, her husband, the director Sam Mendes (''American Beauty''), entertained their 6-month-old son, Joe, while Winslet's 3-year-old daughter, Mia, played inside the house.
Three haiku from it:
1. family story:
"greatest artistic triumph"
daughter, son, the house
2. Creation directs:
the only place is this place.
Laugh at art. At life.
3. not sure my husband
knew that I loved my work or
even knew my work
Here's a gratuitous one I thought of when I was thinking about Bleak House at bkfst this morning. (I'm listening to it now.)
Dickens came to me
hummed near my ear, it felt like.
