This film adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning bestseller depicts a single fateful day in the lives of three women whose destinies, despite living in different eras, are unexpectedly interconnected. It is 1923, and Virginia Woolf, in the refuge of her country home, is writing one of her most intimate and complex masterpieces: Mrs Dalloway. Her life and work will go on to influence the other two women. One, a pregnant Los Angeles housewife in 1951, reads Woolf’s novel to brighten the depression of her day-to-day routine. The other, Clarissa Vaughn, is a modern-day Mrs Dalloway, an emancipated New York publisher in 2001 who is planning a celebration for the man she loves: Richard, a poet dying of AIDS. For her performance Nicole Kidman earned an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award, as well as sharing a Berlinale Silver Bear with Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. The film went on to win over 30 prizes.
