Joined by Dublin International Film Festival Director, Grainne Humphreys, we take a deep dive into this underrated classic from Nora Ephron and Mike Nichols. Starring Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Jeff Daniels, Stockard Channing, Kevin Spacey, Catherine O'Hara.
'On a personal note - its the first film I saw at the Dublin Film Festival in 1986 and I return to it every 10 years or so and find like a cinematic Rorshach test - that my feelings towards the couple at its centre have moved or wavered as I have grown older. And looking back knowing now what we do about Ephron's later career as a film director and cultural commentator, the film is a fascinating snapshot of a woman starting afresh and a writer rewriting her past .' - Grainne Humphreys
