Brenna: Songcatcher[personal profile] philosapphic on July 25th, 2018 09:06 pm (UTC)
MOVIE: Songcatcher (2000)
PAIRING: Eleanor "Elna" Penleric/Harriet Tolliver

THE PITCH: Anyone besides me into period lesbians?  1907 lesbians?  Somebody else out there has to be into period lesbians!  Particularly these ones, because they are nerdy activists who moved to Appalachia to found a school together and they write essays protesting child labor and most certainly do many other wonderful things that are not shown on-screen because they are, tragically, a subplot in this movie.  But they deserve their own story and a happy ending and fic can supply those things!  Seriously, for the amount of time they get in the movie (which is not tiny, but also not major; it's a prominent subplot) I think they are so beautifully characterized, with little details that suggest so much, and are ripe for deepening and expanding in fic. I love them. (I don't have a lot of high-quality stills of them but they are in my icon.)

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: Songcatcher is generally well-reviewed (74% on RottenTomatoes) but is certainly angsty and a little heavy-handed in places. But the beauty of the setting and the music, and the strength of the characterization, are terrific, and I find it very very easy to get lost in.  And, for real, Elna/Harriet will always be my OTP. 

1. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LAaHZsEG1s

3. IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210299/

It's available for rental on Amazon Prime, Vudu, iTunes, and Google Play, for about $3 at the moment.
