I watched this years ago but since found a photo of my 2nd cousin having afternoon tea in the garden with the Bloomsbury group. I am old now but he was a close friend of my Dads. He wrote poetry and sold pages at a penny a sheet. He worked as as a night watchman to support himself. He became great friends of Lady Ottoline Morrell and their letters are held in a University in the colonies. Walter D’Arcy Cresswell came from a wealthy family in New Zealand but was cast out from his family who were sheep station owners. Being artistic he didn’t fit in. I would love to know how he met up with the group and more about him. Sadly my father passed in the 1960s and I have no one to ask.

So incredible to see this fabulous documentary right after watching Life in Squares - about the Bloomsbury group - so interesting and such a wonderful biographical historical drama

This is an extract from a longer dvd. I've just enjoyed watching it - again. A delightful way to spend time in the company of this remarkable and lucid person. I'm so glad the film makers did this while there was still time. Myriam Martin's evocative music suits the film so well.

from an interview with AG in the Guardian: "But she says she was lucky to grow up in Bloomsbury all the same, and is relaxed about the sexually permissive culture in which she was raised: "I think it's inevitable, I mean I've got no moral feelings against it. It may not always work, unfortunately, but I don't think it matters people trying things out. I think this idea that people should experiment with each other is a good idea." (Though she also suggests that there may not have been as much sex as Bloomsbury legend suggests: "Everyone slept in different bedrooms, you know, they didn't hop into each other's beds, and it wasn't promiscuous at all as far as I can tell.")

Dreadful daubs that somehow surpass mediocrity, in part, through their very dreadfulness.

Lol -- I don't feel competent to comment on the quality of the works, but will say that I felt terribly embarrassed for the interviewer when, upon inquiring about the framed pieces lining the walls (reasonably expecting, I think, to hear something about various noteworthy artists of Garnett's acquaintance), one... by one... by one they all turned out to be her own work. And it didn't seem to occur to her to show him anything that might have been done by someone else, although presumably there were a few such pieces near at hand. It just struck me as cringe-y. More than anything, though, I have felt sorry for Angelica Garnett -- even though she was blessed with beauty and did not want for creature comforts. She, like many children of well-known and highly accomplished people, grew up ringed by figures that others regarded as giants, and being always in their shadow, probably was somewhat stunted in her own development. Wrt the harrowing fallout from the intimate conduct of her parents, I rejoice that she got a little of her own back by writing "Deceived with Kindness".

Oh dear...we're back with the dreary, pretentious Bloomsburys again. A vastly over-rated bunch of dysfunctionals who seem to have been taken up by some middleclass Brits as a paradigm of bohemian creativity. Given the tight laced attitudes of the time I suppose they did seem outrageous and fascinating to those hoping to be outraged and fascinated by something or other. This old girl's daubs are at best banal and no different from the effluvia of any geriatric art club. Carrington could knock out some homely images with a fair sense of style and Strachey could certainly write.

I wonder why on earth you bothered to watch and then make such a negative comment? Surely you have something more positive to do?
