Several movies & stuff

In the last months I watched:

- Victoria and Abdul - a nice movie with Judy Dench that tells the story of the relationship between Queen Victoria and an Indian that was her spiritual guide (Munshi), Adbul Karim.  Based on a true story.



- Loving Vicent - this movie was entirely painted and it tries to reconstitute the final days of Van Gogh's life using several of his paintings.



- The man with the ironheart - a movie about a plot to murder Reinhard Heydrich, the head of the SS in the Czech Republic
