I was blessed this week when Alamo Studies allowed me to screen Amazon Studios movie SYLVIE’S LOVE which I had seen the trailer for on TV.
I knew SYLVIE’S LOVE would be a movie I would enjoy seeing and thought David might as well. Or some of my girlfriends might want to go and watch this movie with me.
But with Covid-19 on the rise I wasn’t sure venturing into a Theater would be a good idea. Which is why I was excited to view SYLVIE’S LOVE on my computer from the comfort of my home.
I waited until David and Charlie were sleeping to watch SYLVIE’S LOVE so I wouldn’t be disturbed. But before the film ended I knew I wanted to watch this movie again.
I am hoping I can talk David into taking me to the Theater to see it on the Big Screen and I even think if Charlie would sit down and watch this movie that he would enjoy hearing the Music.
As well as seeing what the City looked like a long time ago and seeing inside a Record Store and learning about new music and singers we can study in our Homeschool Class.
This film is Rated PG-13 and you will have to decide if its film you would want your children to see as there is some Sexual Content and if I am with my son I wouldn’t mind watching the movie with him because he would learn a lot through the movie.
About:
| In Sylvie’s Love, the Jazz is smooth and the air sultry in the hot New York summer of 1957. Robert (Nnamdi Asomugha), a Saxophonist, spends late nights playing behind a less-talented but well-known bandleader, as member of a Jazz quartet. Sylvie (Tessa Thompson), who dreams of a career in television, spends her summer days helping around her father’s record store, as she waits for her fiancé to return from war. When Robert takes a part-time job at the record store, the two begin a friendship that sparks a deep passion in each of them unlike anything they have felt before. As the summer winds down, life takes them in different directions, bringing their relationship to an end. Years pass, Sylvie’s career as a TV producer blossoms, while Robert has to come to terms with what the age of Motown is doing to the popularity of Jazz. In a chance meeting, Sylvie and Robert cross paths again, only to find that while their lives have changed, their feelings for each other remain the same. Writer/director Eugene Ashe combines romance and music into a sweeping story that brings together changing times, a changing culture, and the true price of love. |
