Souvenir January 30, 2010

Souvenir tells the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, an eccentric socialite, who gave a series of annual charity concerts during the 1930s. The only problem: Jenkins suffered under the illusion that she was a great coloratura soprano, when in fact she couldn't carry a tune! Despite her utter lack of musicality, Jenkins' recitals garnered her much fame and a date at Carnegie Hall. A hilarious and endearing story about the intersection of self-confidence, talent and enduring friendship.
