The Hours (2002)
Directed by Stephen
Daldry this film based on the novel of the same name stars Nicole
Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Ed Harris. Three women
affected by the same novel in different time periods live out a day
in their lives.
At the time of release
this film won a lot of accolades and it is easy to see why as this is
as well constructed story with a good number of themes that are
reflected through out the different stories. The plot works well and
the lives of the different characters echo each other and that of the
character in the novel Mrs Dalloway helping re-enforce the underlying
themes at work here. Having an all star cast helps the film, Kidman
may have won an Oscar but Ed Harris should have as well and the
direction excellently manages the differing time periods without
getting confusing.
5/5
