Today's film is an old favorite.

Cheri (2009)

Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend do the dance between an aging courtesan and a young admirer who falls in love with her. A story from Colette.

Stephen Frear's film. I have seen it many times.

This is a very satisfying film in that it has entirely sympathetic principles, no one doing "wrong" and a wonderful love story between improbable lovers.

The young man learns many valuable life lessons in a short time. The aging woman is able to capture her youth for awhile. Roughly put.

Also Kathy Bates as the madam in charge and narrator.

Charming and very pleasing film. A 5 out of Netflix5.
