"Implacable. Inexorable. It WILL win."
"Iris" was released in 2001, but I saw it for the first time last evening. It's really not so much a biography of Iris Murdoch as it is a lamentation on the ravages of Alzheimer's. Anyone who has a family member with this affliction will appreciate the forthright but sensitive treatment of the subject in this film.

Thanks, gonna watch this one! I couldn't keep a straight face at that narrator's voice though. "Her naEHHHM was Iris MurDOOHHCH" ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw this film back in late 2001 or early 2002, and it started me binge-reading Murdoch's books.
ReplyDeleteMy only regret is that I didn't start reading them earlier.
