Lorca

I was telling Margaret Lehman 0n the phone about my Lorca "experience." She started talking about a play by him called "Blood Wedding." She suggested that we read it aloud together. Soon after, I was at my friend Thea's house and she had a copy of the play, which she lent me. She also had a copy of an oldish movie titled "The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca." Andy Garcia plays Federico & it also features Edward James Olmos, one of my favorites. The film is based on a biography by Ian Gibson. I'm going to look for it--I had the feeling that the movie, like most biopics, suffered from Hollywoodization. I still enjoyed it. The film included a deeply moving poem by Lorca, "Lament for Igancio Sanchez Mejias."
