Adrianne & the Castle is n heartwarming tribute documentary about an exquisitely eccentric woman who believed that life should be lived as art and crafted everything in her life to do just that. She wasn’t a celebrity and she didn’t crave fame, so it’s no surprise if you’ve never heard of Adrianne Blue Wakefield St. George. But after seeing director Shannon Walsh’s documentary, you will never forget her.
