Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973).Rita, a middle aged New York City homemaker, finds herself in an emotional crisis which forces her to re-examine her life, as well as her relationships with her mother, her eye doctor husband, her alienated daughter and estranged son.
This is an odd film that plays around a lot with mental health, memory and the ways we re-write history to protect ourselves. The premise itself is compelling, but the delivery of the film overall leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it’s a solid performance from Joanne Woodward which makes it worth checking out! 6.5/10.

Mrs. Charles Russell (in Madrid) (1908). John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925). Oil on canvas. Thyssen-Bornemisza.
The painting is an autograph copy of the painting entitled The Honorable Mrs Charles Russell, painted by Sargent in 1900. In 1889 the sitter had married the leading lawyer Sir Charles Russell, famous for winning the case against Oscar Wilde which led to the poet’s imprisonment. The mysterious and rather nervy face of Mrs Russell is characteristic of Sargent’s elegant female portraits. The palette of ochres, silvers and pale pink is rather sober, while the rapid brushstroke is a characteristic example of Sargent’s great skill and refinement.
