The Hours
The critically acclaimed film The Hours is based upon a Pulitzer prize winning novel by Michael Cunningham. It recently won two a Golden Globe Awards for best motion picture drama and for best performance by an actress in a motion picture drama for Nicole Kidman's perfomance as the tormented novelist Virginia Woolf. Also staring are Julianne Moore as the unhappy 50’s housewife Laura Brown, and Meryl Streep as the contemporary, literary Clarissa Vaughan.

The film takes place during one day in each of three women's lives--a half century apart in time. Uniting their stories is the echo of the fictional Mrs. Dalloway, an imaginary character in the ground-breaking stream-of-consciousness novel by the same name, written by Woolf in 1925, read by Laura Brown in 1952, and lived by Clarissa “Dalloway” Vaughan, in the year 2000.

Dishmag describes the life of Virginia Woolf, the movie, and its characters.
