The Hours
features three women in three different time periods with one
motive--to commit suicide.
They are attracted to women and have either
left, or plan to leave their husbands. Two of them are bookworms,
and the other a writer of which the others read and relate to.
It has many great performances and an endless
list of big stars, and is a humongus job of filmmaking at its
best.
It's daring, risky, realistic, and straightforward. |
Three women on the verge of nervous breakdowns
must deal with their personal demons with only the slender thread
of a novel to connect them.
This movie is a showcase of talent, with
both principal and minor roles magnificently cast.
When Virginia Woolf wrote Mrs. Dalloway,
do you think she realized how it would affect future generations?
A beautiful film that is well worth seeing. |
The Hours
is about one day in the life of three women, in three eras, connected
by Virginia Woolf's book, Mrs. Dalloway.
It's a delicate three-part novel about
the last day in Virginia Woolf's life and a 1950's housewife
considering suicide and a present day poet preparing a dinner
party for her dying ex-lover.
The strength of the picture has a lot to
do with the way the writer constructed the drama to film.
Great acting all around, with a super-star
cast. |
