The Company of Strangers, which was released in the U.S. as Strangers in Good Company, is a gorgeous Canadian semi-documentary film. And it is amazing. This movie deserves to be legendary, and I'm not quite sure why it's not. Cynthia Scott's feminist exploration of growing old is really, really wonderful. I saw this as a bit of a fluke with my unseen movie club, and every one of us adored it.
I loved this movie so much that I started reading a memoir by one of the cast members, the painter Mary Meigs – she was a lesbian and (in 1990!) she appeared in this movie as herself.
