Title: Ode to Iris Murdoch
Review: This movie is based on the reminiscenses of John Bayley, the husband of Iris Murdoch, an English novelist and philosopher. Scenes of the early part of their courtship and love affair are juxtaposed with her later descent into madness, as her husband ministers to her growing needs. The performances of Judith Densch and Ben Broadbent are nothing short of remarkable and catch the roller-coaster existence of these two literary giants with wonderful clarity. For sensitive viewers, be forewarned, the subject matter is depressing and is certainly not light entertainment.
