Mrs Dalloway


Based on the famous (apparently) novel by Virginia Woolf. The story is set in 1923, with the heroine throwing a party in her elegant London home. She's married to a rather stodgy member of Parliament who gave her the stability she craved. But she was once in love with another man, whose passion was so strong for her that it frightened her away. By using flashbacks, we see how, and why, she made the decisions that dictated her life course. Redgrave's performance has been praised.

André Mes: Slow at times, but engrossing all the same. Redgrave is her usualy brilliance and Michael Kitchen is excellent as her doomed admirer.

Victoria Romano: I was extremely confused and well frankly bored.
