Mrs. Dalloway (1997)
ADULT THEMES
Marleen Gorris, the Oscar winning director of Antonia's Line, brings to life Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking 1925 novel, which itself inspired Michael Cunningham's Pultizer Prize-winning novel 'The Hours'. Vanessa Redgrave plays Clarissa Dalloway, an MP's wife, whose life is thrown into crisis when a lover she rejected 30 years ago makes an unexpected appearance at a party she is hosting at her elegant London home, prompting bittersweet memories of her youth. Beautifully filmed in period London and featuring an outstanding cast including Natascha McElhone and Rupert Graves, Mrs Dalloway perfectly captures Virgina Woolf's concerns about choice, truth and destiny.

Trust Virginia Woolf to write a story which shows up the shallow frivolity of the English middle class and the tragedy of a young man suffering shell shock following the First World War. Vanessa Redgrave gave a wonderful performance as Clarissa, whilst Rupert Graves was powerful as the troubled young man. A film worth watching again. Unfortunately time doesn't change people as I can still draw parallels with what happens in our society today.

Slow moving. Sudden flashbacks that are difficult to identify.
Very pretty costumes and locale. For afficionados only.

I found the film a very moving experience - I preferred it to the book which is more difficult to
understand. I shall now re-read the book.
