| IRIS (2001) | |
|
|
Philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch (Kate Winslet / Judi Dench) believes that the world only exists as we perceive it in our minds and can describe it in words for others. However, this becomes seemingly increasingly difficult for her as she is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, which seems to be devastating for those around her. This is portrayed through flashbacks contrasted with her present life and how she met her beloved gawky husband, for whom she can no longer express her love. As disease takes control of the aging Iris the audience is stepped upon with unpleasant reality that forces tears and sympathy for her and those around her. In the end, the audience will have a terrific film experience through feeling grief while pondering Iris's life philosophy with exhilarating curiosity. |
