The Hours

Complex drama. The lives of three women from different generations are intertwined through Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep star.

Complex, Oscar-nominated drama based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham, interweaving the stories of three women from different generations.

In the early part of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf struggles to complete her novel Mrs Dalloway, which profoundly affects a 1950s housewife and a modern-day woman, who appears to be living out its plotline.
