	Iris (2001 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iris is a 2001 film that tells the story of British novelist Iris Murdoch and her relationship with John Bayley.
		When the young Iris Murdoch meets fellow student John Bayley at the University of Oxford, he is a naive virgin easily flummoxed by her libertine spirit, arch personality, and obvious artistic talent.
		When Iris begins experiencing forgetfulness and dementia, however, the ever-doltish but devoted John struggles with hopelessness and frustration to become her caretaker, as his wife's mind deteriorates from the ravages of Alzheimer's disease.

	TNMC Movie Reviews: Iris
		This is a character driven movie and the acting is what makes it work so well.
		Judi Dench is excellent as the older Iris, although as her condition worsens, Dench has much less to do.
		The focus is on the romance between John and Iris and her illness exclusively.

	Iris
		Iris is in many ways a quintessential Horner score, and one which hearkens back to his work pre-Titanic, when he would often take up scoring duties on smaller, more intimate films which required a greater degree of feeling and sensitivity in the music.
		Bell's solo performances are unwaveringly excellent, bringing to Iris the same expressiveness and lightness of touch he brought to John Corigliano's Oscar winning score for The Red Violin a few years ago.
		Two things which may put some listeners off Iris are the construction of the album - 8 untitled cues which are given scene descriptions in the album notes - and its lack of a tangible central theme - there is nothing you can take away and whistle.

	Iris (2001) Movie Overview ~ Cast and Crew, Trailer, Pictures, Synopsis, Release Date - RopeofSilicon.com
		Iris teems with fussy charm and the intimate joy found only in a lover's foibles.
		The scenario tacks back and forth from the young Iris (Kate Winslet)--ready to seduce one and all with her coy command of words and sex appeal--to the elder Iris (Judi Dench)--slowly giving way to the cruel erasure of Alzheimer's--and it is impossible not to be moved by the film's denouement of loss.
		The script, however, is painfully predictable and heavy-handed in its frequent use of symbolism (e.g., sheets of paper flying into the ocean, rocks slipping to the river's bottom).

	Iris - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		That's because the movie intentionally focuses on only two short periods of time--her courtship with John and the final two years of her life as she lost her battle against the disease.
		The movie, directed and co-written by well-known theater director Richard Eyre, also uses an interesting cross-cutting structure, as it moves quickly between the young Iris (played by Kate Winslet) and John (Hugh Bonneville) and the much older Iris and John (Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent, respectively).
		A scene of Iris meeting John melds into John and the ill Iris, taking a walk, or the young, naked Iris swimming in the river segues into the old Iris, complete with bathing suit, suddenly afraid of being under water.

	Iris (2001). Hollywood Jesus Visual Reviews
		Peter Conradi is literary executor of the estate of Iris Murdoch (1919-99) and was her close friend in the 1980s and '90s, so sensible readers will not expect this to be a warts-and-all biography of the distinguished novelist and philosopher.
		Iris tells the story of Murdoch losing those words and thoughts as she progressed through Alzheimer's disease until her death in 1999.
		Iris at least escapes much of the suffering, because she has no memory of what she has lost.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Iris"
		As a biography of the novelist and philosopher Dame Iris Murdoch, "Iris" is hardly adequate.
		The screenplay, by Eyre and Charles Wood, is based on Bayley's two memoirs, "Elegy for Iris" and "Iris and Her Friends," both written after Murdoch had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
		And as Iris slides fully into Alzheimer's, Dench becomes almost fully interior, conveying Iris' awareness that she is falling away from herself until finally, she appears to be a frightened creature peering out from a safe nook at a world that no longer makes sense.

		Iris is a dual portrait of two sides of novelist Iris Murdoch.
		Young Iris simply seems to believe that her body belongs to the world, which causes young John (Hugh Bonneville) no end of grief which he carries with him even into his days caring for his slowly slipping wife.
		Young Iris meets and courts young John -- and suddenly we are thrust into the midst of older Iris' struggle in the early throes of Alzheimer's, attempting to get down the words of her final novel, Jackson's Dilemma, then forgetting that she ever wrote in the first place.

	Iris Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The courtship story line, with Kate Winslet playing Iris and Hugh Bonneville as Bayley, blends fluidly with the presentation of the couple in their senior years, when Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent take over the roles.
		The film's central tragedy is conveyed by a comment the young Iris makes to John — "If one doesn't have words, how does one think?" The sad irony is that Alzheimer's makes it impossible for her to answer her own question.
		While much newsprint has been spewed about whether or not the Titanic star is overweight, the far more important fact is what an astonishing actress she is. Nowhere is this more apparent than when the young Iris laughs as she accidentally slides down a flight of stairs at a dance.

	Lee's Movie Info - 'Iris' Movie Review
		Iris, starring Judi Dench and Kate Winslet as British author Iris Murdoch is a beautiful, heartfelt and heartbreaking film about Murdoch's battle with Alzheimer's.
		The flashbacks give us a great understanding of the rebellious, somewhat iconoclastic nature of Murdoch, a woman who loves to drink, smoke, enjoy life and a woman who presumably had many suitors (and lovers), yet was intensely attracted to the shy, nerdy, Bailey, a man some seven years her junior.
		Bailey was completely comfortable in his wife's shadow, yet in the end it was Iris who desperately needed her husband as her brilliant mind was being ravaged by Alzheimer's.

		This movie teaches us a lot about love and life and the value of life at all age levels, and how precious one's mind and memory is. And, I know it's cliche, but 'sometimes you hurt the one's you love most.' Winslett and Dench are mesmorizing.

		Love is a thematic constant at the movies and it is more often shabbily treated than not.
		"Iris," a film inspired by the real-life, long-term love between novelist Iris Murdoch and literature professor John Bayley, might just be the most heartbreaking and humanizing movie about love ever made.
		There's simply nothing in movies of the year 2001 ("Iris" had a limited opening last year to qualify for the Oscars) to touch the emotional integrity this film's players bring.

		Judi Dench's performance as Dame Iris Murdoch was not only flawless, pitch-perfect, and deeply moving, but it was also the performance of a lifetime.
		The Academy was ridiculous in overlooking her lost gazes, her subtle inflections in voice, her trembling hands, her puzzled mouth.
		The movie accurately captures the intense passion for life and love that John Bayley describes in his novel, "Elegy For Iris." Altogether, a brilliant film, concise, humurous, terribly sad--and enhanced by four brilliant performances.
