Weekend Dose of Culture



 
So this weekend I suggest escaping the cold and grey weather by grabbing a friend and catching a Katharine Hepburn flick at the BFI.

The BFI are well-known for hosting month long celebrations of some of Hollywood's finest actors. The screens have played host to the back catalogue of Vivien Leigh and Deborah Kerr, but now finally, it's time for Miss Katharine Hepburn's close up.

With a movie career spanning over six decades and four Academy Awards to her name, Miss Hepburn is in my opinion one of the best comedy actors of all time. You'll be in fits of giggles with her onscreen comedic chemistry with Cary Grant, but also awed by her versatility as an actor in switching from comedy to gritty roles.

You are spoiled for choice when it comes to what to watch. From Philadelphia Story to the African Queen, there's plenty of comedies and hard hitting dramas that everyone will enjoy. I've already got my eye on watching Adam's Rib.
