As IMDb says it more concatenated than I: “The story of how the novel ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ affects three generations of women, all of whom, in one way or another, have had to deal with suicide in their lives.” This film is Nicole Kidman’s magnum opus, where she plays Virginia Woolf. This is a highly human film where life ends in a way, while the opposite is indeed true, in another way. There are no cutting costs in this film. The script (based on a book) is brilliant, the acting is superb, Philip Glass’ odd soundtrack stands out greatly in contrast to “normal” soundtracks and the colours and contrast of the film is astounding; mainly, this is a very good film dealing with depression in oneself as well as how the people around a depressed individual act. The script has depth on so many levels, and I must strongly recommend this masterpiece. Horrid, fantastic, real and beautiful.

This movie starts slow, and seems disjointed at first, yet it doesn’t take too long before the intracacies become apparent. There are really 3 stories going on here at the same time, and they all blend into one. Fascinating work that is worth giving time to sink in.
