The Hours is a profoundly moving drama that interweaves the lives of three women across different generations, all connected by Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway.
In 1923, Woolf herself (Nicole Kidman) struggles with mental illness while beginning to write the book in England. In 1951, Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), a pregnant housewife in California, seeks escape from her stifling domestic life by reading the story.
In 2001 New York, Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl Streep) mirrors the novel’s protagonist as she prepares a party for a friend dying of AIDS. The film explores themes of suppressed desire, social expectation, and the search for meaning within the ordinary passage of time.
