The Hours
Streep plays Clarissa Vaughan, an editor whose life mimics that of Clarissa Dalloway, in this drama directed by Stephen Daldry. Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway is the jumping off point to chronicle a day in the life of three women in three separate decades, all of whom, in one way or another, encounter suicide. Co-starring Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore.
For me this film was a telescoping of time and emotion and how connected we are—deep down, we’re all very similar.
