About this product

Product Information

Based on the book ELEGY FOR IRIS, by John Bayley, this biopic tells the inspiring and heartbreaking story of the writer's 40-year romance with English novelist Dame Iris Murdoch. The film cuts back and forth between the young Iris and John (played by Kate Winslet and Hugh Bonneville), at the height of their romantic adventures as students at Oxford in the 1950s, and the elderly couple (played by Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent), struggling with Iris' decline, as her brilliant mind is ravaged by the effects of Alzheimer's.Judi Dench gives an outstanding performance--her transformation from a prolific genius of the written and spoken word (Murdoch wrote 26 novels), to the infantile state of losing her language facilities altogether, is truly wrenching. Jim Broadbent is equally touching as her partner for life, who has adored the passionate Iris since they met, but was never fully able to possess her until the tragic end, when he declares in grief, "I've got you now, and I don't bloody want you!" Directed by Richard Eyre, artistic director of Britain's Royal National Theater, the film is uniquely sensitive and finely acted.

Wish it would've shipped in a bubble envelope instead of a paper one, but it arrived as described at a very low price, so I can't really complain. A+ Seller. Cheers!

Top Ebayer! A++++++ Exactly as described, nicely packaged, good price and arrived quickly. (if you see 3 items with similar reviews of mine for this seller, that's because I ordered 3 things on the same day from this seller and they were all excellent!) Thanks!!

  • Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch

    The movie Iris depicts how a vivacious and gifted woman, Iris, and her intellectual and devoted husband experience the effect of Iris' dementia. In a stroke of brilliance the movie presents glimpses of Iris' youth interspersed with the chronology of Iris' travel through the stages of dementia. At first it seems unsettling until the viewer realizes that it is a glimpse of Iris' daily reality -- here one moment than back in some previous time and back again to the present and back to a different past experience. It demonstrates, too, the toll it takes on a spouse when he assumes both roles in the marriage and takes on the added responsibility of caregiving. Too overwhelming for one person alone and not even safe for either of them. Poignant, realistic, and very well acted. This film was ...

  • Great Movie

  • Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch

    A tough movie to watch because of content. Anyone facing Alzheimers should see this if they can. Danch was wonderful in the part of Iris. She is so talented and Broadbent's roll was most admirable. Hard to watch, but highly recommended.

  • nice video

    Wonderful DVD very nice
