"Snow" and Woolf

Based on Michael Cunningham's 1998 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the film is also a tribute to Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs. Dalloway."
Interlocking, extremely in-depth psychological descriptions, textured pictures, and heavy colors make me see my crazy side. The three time and space are intertwined, and in the end, they are naturally closely matched. It's the same as the "Negative Numbers and Zero" novel.
In addition, the original neurotic writer prototype in the film is Virginia Woolf, and also pays homage to the novel "Mrs. Dai Luowei". But when I watched it last night, I always remembered the "snow" in "Dance and Dance", such a woman can live in the real world and the fantasy world at the same time. The actor Nicole Kidman is really good. His demeanor, movements, clothes, especially the scene where he put his hands in the long skirt bag in the garden and stared blankly, as well as his smoking posture and a slightly apologetic smile, made me very obsessed. Looks like it's time to watch To the Lighthouse.
"The historical Woolf and her sister Vanessa were central figures in the British literary circle in Bloomsbury, but they were tortured by their homosexual tendencies and depression for life, and finally sank to their deaths."
