Goldberg's 1994 rom-com 'Corinna, Corinna' is an unlikely but effective cure to all ills (OK, hangovers)
A decade and a half ago, when I was in my early twenties, careening between weekdays of surreptitious FaceBooking at my entry-level publishing job and weekends throwing shapes at rickety warehouse parties, hangovers were a doddle. They were reliably slayed by two cures: gallons of coconut water and rewatching Whoopi Goldberg’s performance in the eminently watchable, heartwarming and unashamedly perky classic rom-com Corrina, Corrina.
It gently reveals an evolving, deepening bond between Corrina and Molly, a relationship that, later, coloured the depiction of a friendship between a Ghanaian housemaid and a British Ghanaian teenager in my debut novel Hold. The film also focuses on the affinity between Manny and Corinna. Like the beautifully smoky jazz score, softness is integral throughout.Indulging in a little reminiscing recently — but with a somewhat clearer head — I rewatched it with my husband.
