This adaptation of the novel by
Virginia Woolf stars
Vanessa Redgrave as Clarissa Dalloway, a woman in her mid-'50s living in London five years after the end of WWI. As Mrs. Dalloway prepares an elaborate dinner party at the home she shares with her husband, a prominent politician, she finds herself looking back on her life 30 years before, when as a young woman (played by (
Natascha McElhone), she was in love with two different men -- the solid and safe Richard Dalloway (
John Standing) and the exciting, free-spirited Peter Walsh (
Michael Kitchen). Clarissa also recalls her close friendship with Sally (
Lena Headey) as she wonders if she made the right choice in marrying Richard -- especially when Peter makes an unexpected appearance at her party. Mrs. Dalloway also finds herself moved in a way she never anticipated by the plight of Septimus Smith (
Rupert Graves), a young man severely injured during the war whom she has never met.
Mrs. Dalloway was directed by
Marleen Gorris, whose previous credit was the international success
Antonia's Line.
