I've always been interested in self-portraits by women (Alice Neel*, Cindy Sherman*) because it's often seen as taboo in our society for a woman to age. Why is that? Why does a woman lose her supposed attractiveness when male leads like Sean Connery can still play the main lead love interest at 73, next to a woman half his age? Is he really better looking than say, Helen Mirren? I would say "no". I think it's really weird to see fresh young starlets next to old dudes, but that's just me. What do you think?
In the interest of romance and age, I submit to you this lovely little tale about retired Brit expats in India who find true love, as they also contemplate the end of life.
Enjoy your Thursday, no matter your age.
