  • Virginia Woolf pushed the boundaries of the novel as a tool for psychological inquiry through her experimentation with subjective and relativistic perceptions of time and events. This program intercuts scenes from a compelling dramatization of Mrs. Dalloway with a portrayal of Virginia Woolf-played by actress Eileen Atkins-who, based on entries from her diary, explicates the story. Literary critic Hermione Lee addresses topics in the novel such as the significance of shared external events and the theme of emotional bankruptcy, both of which propel this drama of the mind.

      I came to say the same thing. I love it, in a way that's difficult to articulate, but is easily understood--I imagine--by anyone else who also has loved it.

    a book set in the real world that cannot, arguably, be transferred into the visual medium! for at the heart of Mrs. Dalloway, is the mind, the inner world and impressions of the characters.
    Virginia Woolf truly put onto paper the intangible!

    Virginia Woolf tells her stories the same as an artist paints his or her masterpiece. I watched the 2002 film, "The Hours", this evening and it always sparks intense curiosity about her. This was a really very good program.

    Virginia Woolf's writing is some profound material. I would argue that The Voyage Out is a good starting point and then venture further only if you dare, her other works are a bit more advanced. I love her writing deeply.

    Pretty good film Mrs Dalloway, by Marleen Gorris, 1997, with Vanessa Redgrave. And with Lena Headey! Much better than The Hours.

    She was not religious, but was mystic minded. Ellen Atkins portraityal of Virginia Woolf is well presented. And that what ever she thinks she talks about and writes it down. Hermione Lee has given us a background talk with wonderful candor.Thanks for uploading this video.

    Mrs Dalloways party is attended by her first love Sally Seton (now married with 5 sons) and the man she might have married Peter Walsh (still half in love with her). She hears about disturbed War veteran Septimus’s suicide earlier on that day and contemplates ending her own life but decides instead to return to her party.
    Great rendition of Virginia Woolf at her most sublime.

    oh My No , No No No Why must Vigina Wolf gave to drown herself sometime in the spring time or summer time of 1941 perhaps to leave earth before Ww2 becomes even worse or due to mitigating circumstances or perhaps she felt depressed and lonely or something else Hiw old was Virgina Wolf before she had drowned herself in either the spring time or summer time 1941& then cremated! What a tragedy for someone who had it all or perhaps appeared to have it all ! Rip V.W. from Danica 💘 😻 u Virgina Wolf

    Indeed, women and native "peoples" were not in any way the same level of human as the bishops and cardinals the stilted world that Woolf inhabited. Unfortunately, such ideas are still current. Simply listen to the white men in power today and most especially the supremacists of today...the whiter than white. I had hoped for so much more as a dynamic young women of the 1970s. I was terribly mistaken. After years of hard labour, like many of my gender, i live as a poor old woman, barely alive and certainly not valued until dead. Only then some kind words will be spoken.

    A very interesting attempt to produce an experimental essay (as its subject matter), but it's quite annoying to see that the critic is always defending Woolf's work against its detractors. That was unnecessary.

    Why they create a character who looks 70 years old instead of a 50 years old? Did people looked older than their age back then?

    • @RB-xj9kr

      No, Eileen Atkins looks to be in her late 50s.

    • @frogmouth
      @frogmouth 11 місяців тому +1

      American 50 year olds superficially look younger . Atkins doesnt look 70 to non Americans . She has had no cosmetic surgery and nor does she wear clothes or hairstyles that were worn by 30 yearolds in the period of the film . Its good casting and she sounds quite like the recording of Woolf i have heard
