FILM: TAKE THIS WALTZ

This past weekend we watched Take This Waltz, a romantic comedy-drama written and directed by Sarah Polley. It's been on my must-see movie list for a while now. It's about a young woman who seems to be drifting through life unsure of who to be, where to go and what to do.

Toronto sets the scene for this sad love story. My beloved neighbourhood is captured from the dog park and swimming pool at Trinity Bellwoods Park to Swan (one of my favourite local restaurants) and the quaint residential streets of Little Portugal. It was a visual love story to Toronto. I'll overlook the one anomaly -- you can't run from Little Portugal to the Beaches. You could, but it would take you a long, long time and you would be really sweaty.
