Jake this is so hard this week!
You haven’t quite beat me though, my photo was taken on the Cobb at Lyme Regis in Dorset where in the film, The French Lieutenants Woman, played by Meryl Streep is seen standing in her cloak. I love Lyme but I’m afraid my photo doesn’t have the same romance.
Jake requested an article about the chosen film so here is quite an amusing one. Sharon if you haven’t read the book you might enjoy!

Oh Gilly that article is funny! I read the book once upon a time, but I’ve misplaced most of the details. I seem to remember it was kind of postmodern before postmodern was cool, though – much like the article. Or maybe I’m imagining the postmodernity. Or inventing it, in an appropriately postmodern way.
Sounds to me like you could write a postmodernsharonicle version of it!
Well…maybe…if we assume there is such a thing as postmodernism and such a thing as versions and such a thing as Sharon…..
Then again, NO. Just writing that first sentence made me feel as if I’m entangled in spider webs!
I tried to read “House of Leaves” a year or so ago, and decided that (a) I’m too busy and don’t have the time to plow through such a long book without enjoying myself, and (b) I’m too old to be overawed by stories whose main point is to confuse the reader. Does that make me postpostmodern, or just Victorian? 😉
Hi,
I love the photo, and a good choice for the theme. 🙂
Thanks Mags, it was a difficult theme for me at least 🙂
For me, and probably for all Jane Austen fans, the Cobb at Lyme Regis is famed for an important scene in her final novel Persuasion. No film that I know of (yet) — but the BBC has done a TV adaptation.
Your scene is nice and moody — chimes with my remembrance of the novel — but I never actually saw the movie! (I love Meryl Streep in anything, though.)
I’m an Austen fan too (she whispers)!
Great photo, Gilly. The kind of place that just begs to be featured in a movie, isn’t it?
Lyme is fabulous!
Thanks for sharing the windswept photo, Gilly. Perfect for any star-crossed lover movie, I think. 🙂
Thanks Vivian, yes a great place for a dramatic ending 🙂
This theme is beautiful Gilly , Thanks for creating this post great link and that`s what i talking about there so many movies to post and the best way is to attach their link I used wikipedia for the best results Great post Gilly thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for a great but very difficult challenge Jake!
hi Gilly,
your photo has the same romance, when I saw the picture, I immediately assosiated to the “French Lieutenant’s Woman” – we saw the movie once in a cinema in the Netherlands …
I’ve always wanted to stand there in a black cloak (but I would probably get blown off the cobb) 🙂 🙂 🙂
I haven’t seen the film, but remember this location from trailers on TV. This image is of a typical English summer day, at the seaside, Gilly, well done!
Yep typical English cold day at the beach!
It may not have the romance like the movie but it does have its beauty and charms that will always be remembered. Beautiful my friend. Have a wonderful day…
Thanks you so much, I appreciate your visits!
Great post. And movie choice!
Thanks for coming round 🙂
A beautiful setting – love the photo.
Its a wonderful place to visit!
well i think that this photo has lots of atmosphere Gilly
It’s on the Jurassic coast Jo and has the atmosphere that you find in very ancient places!
Isn’t THAT atmosphere the most wonderful one there is ???
I enjoyed this movie very much. I may have to see it again.
You captured in the photo the drama of romance.
Thanks Izzy its just the place for a romantic like you!
