 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.

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.
Kate Winslet lost herself inside the young Iris, developing an entirely new set of facial expressions and voice tones.

 Iris (2001) by Richard Eyre: Video-hills.com
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.
Iris Murdoch (portrayed in her young years by Kate Winslet) is a liberated freethinker.
She may also recognize that he is an insurance policy against her future loneliness...for it is quickly established that Iris is the stronger of the pair, and that dutiful John will suffer for his love of her.

 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.

 Guardian Unlimited Film | Reviews | Iris (2001)
My one overriding thought was: "How would Iris Murdoch react to this testament to her mind and her life?" Rambling mind, weak bladder and a general loss of personal dignity...
I was in awe with the depiction of alzeimers and felt the film showed its grip on Iris and John like a hideous monster invading their minds and lives.
Iris is the true story of author John Bayley's 40-year romance with Iris Murdoch, a gifted novelist who found herself suffering from Alzheimer's towards the end of her life.

 Iris (2001) - MovieMeter.nl
Bayley vertelt hoe hij Iris 40 jaar geleden ontmoette, hoe hun leven er uit zag, en welke verwoestende effecten de ziekte van Alzheimer op haar hadden.
De flashbacks, zoals het moment waarop ze op de fiets rijden en hij ze niet kan inhalen, verwijst naar het feit, dat zij nu aan het aftakelen is en hij ze ook niet kan volgen in die wereld van alzheimer.
Judi Dench speelt Iris Murdoch [vrijwel al haar 26, 27 romans zijn bij mijn weten in het Nederlands vertaald] ook subliem, en ook zonder een spoor van ijdelheid of effectbejag.

A biopic of Iris Murdoch focusing on her relationship with husband John Bayley.
The audience attaches itself to the two central characters to expect a tear-jerking farewell when Iris herself passes away (as we all know by now that Alzheimer’s disease took her life), but instead we are subjected to a sudden end that is empty of emotion.
Iris is a classic example of a 'watch once' film.

 The Story Of Hurricane Iris In The Atlantic
Well, this year, the Central American country formerly a British colony, was hit again as Hurricane Iris came a calling this week with its 140 mph winds as it became the most powerful Atlantic hurricane of the 2001 Season to date.
From Sunday night, October 7th, 2001, when Iris just had winds of 90 mph to its landfall in Belize at around 11 PM EDT on Monday night, October 8th, Hurricane Iris developed into such a monster that it registered as the strongest hurricane of the 2001 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
This time, Iris caused damage to the south near the city of Monkey River Town, and may have even impacted lives of Americans as 20 people that were on a diving expedition from Virginia are feared dead.

If you go into Iris thinking that you'll learn about the famed author Dame Iris Murdoch and her work, you may be disappointed.
The affectionate elderly couple swimming in a waterhole is spliced with almost identical images of the younger versions of themselves, with a skinny-dipping Iris luring her new smitten awkward lover into the water.
The film focuses specifically (and only) on these two times in the couple's lives: when they have just met and are falling in love, and the last couple of years, when Iris' mental capacity is failing her, and John is put into the role of constant caretaker.

Iris är en gripande berättelse om en av Englands mest kända kärleksaffärer i modern tid - äktenskapet mellan Iris Murdoch och John Bayley.

 Iris (2001)
Based on Bayley’s poignant biography Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch, the film tells the story of the academics first and last years together when, in 1996, Murdoch was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
And with the inevitable realism that entails: when the postman arrives with her latest - and last - novel, the once prolific author (who was famously quoted as saying she took ‘half an hour off’ between books) is unable to recognise it.
I did find myself rather frustrated at the amount of attention focused on Iris’ rapid mental decline though and wanted to see more of her wit and intellect and love of words before Alzheimer sets in.
