We saw the movie Séraphine today.  The movie is about Séraphine de Senlis, a famous French “modern primitive” painter; you can read more about her here.  The film is dark, mirroring her internal landscape; there is very little dialog, again mirroring her psychological state.  She works as a cleaning woman and paints because God and the angels tell her to.

I don’t want to give away what happens – this is a movie worth seeing.

Southern California is amazing – here’s a picture of the inner courtyard of the mall with the movie theater.
