The Hours 
Dir. Stephen Daldry US 2003
The Hours, Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, is brought to the screen with outstanding performances by Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep. The story interweaves three thematically similar plot lines: the days leading up to Virginia Woolf's suicide; the oppressive life of Laura Brown, a 50's housewife; and the dissatisfaction of a bourgeois modern Manhattan woman, Clarissa Vaughan. Using the structure of Woolfe's classic book Mrs. Dalloway, The Hours deftly intercuts the actions and emotions of these women's lives creating a single woman, ageless and timeless. Focusing on mundane tasks of domesticity the film makes us privy to the depression felt by these women as feelings of inadequacy, regret and isolation consume them. With Ed Harris, Alison Janney, John C. Reilly and Toni Collette. (114m)
