Mrs. Dalloway

Released 1997
Stars Vanessa Redgrave, Natascha McElhone, Rupert Graves, Michael Kitchen, John Standing, Alan Cox
Directed by Marleen Gorris

Redgrave is radiant as the wife of a British M. P. who, on the day of a major soiree, thinks back to her youth when she chose between a safe, secure life and a more daring existence with a man who truly loved her. McElhone is an excellent match for Redgrave in the flashback scenes. Thoughtful, intelligent drama adapted by actress Eileen Atkins from the Virginia Woolf novel.
