With Oscar season well underway, studios are already starting to roll out potential contenders for next year’s awards. Which is how I found a trailer this morning for the inimitable Stephen Frears’ next film, Florence Foster Jenkins:

I am wildly excited about this film, in large part due to having just discovered Jenkins (the person) myself. A socialite and aspiring operatic soprano, she became famous for, according to one biographer, “her complete lack of rhythm, pitch, tone, and overall singing ability.”

In case you’re not already familiar with her ‘work,’ I’d highly recommend this stirring rendition of something vaguely resembling Mozart’s “Der Holle Rache:”

Zoinks.
