Florence Foster Jenkins – The first lesson
“The film is the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) , the legendary New York heiress and socialite who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great opera singer. The voice she heard in her head was beautiful, but to everyone else it was hilariously awful. Her ‘husband’ and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), an aristocratic English actor, was determined to protect his beloved Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give a public concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944, St Clair knew he faced his greatest challenge.”
What do you of Florence Foster Jenkins’ singing? Do you feel like cutting her tongue?
