The Song of Lunch (2010)

From the opening minutes of the filmed adaptation of this book, I knew that the narrative came from the written word. We do this all the time, but are mostly unaware that we’re doing it. When the author has only his perspective, the points of conflict are surprisingly potent, as are intimate touches.

If you’re one of those people who can’t get enough of Alan Rickman’s face, this lunchtime meal will be far more than you can ever handle. Personally, I find Emma Thompson’s face far more appealing.

“The Song of Lunch” is presently steaming on Prime Video.
