| 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)
