Award-winning drama starring
Emma Thompson and Christopher Lloyd.
Vivian Bearing is a tenacious professor of English literature whose cloistered academic world is shattered when she's diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer. Used to exploring the mysteries of poetry, her intellectualism is put to the test by the petty humiliations and degrading procedures of the medical professionals who can treat but not cure her. Review page 63.
Director Mike Nichols (2001)
