Dir.: Richard Eyre | 91 minutes

Iris

UK, USA 2001 | 91 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

When Iris Murdoch died in 1991 of Alzheimer, she left behind 26 novels representing a rich and unique cultural corpus. Her husband, John Bailey, documented their years together, from their youth and up until her death, in an intimate and sometimes chillingly precise memoir. The powerful and dramatic film version exposes Murdoch's inimitable character, and heightens the pain and regret at the disease that ate away at her mind.
