The Hours Richmond Train Station Virginia and Leanord scene.
Virginia Woolf and Leonard train station scene at Richmond, UK from the film, the Hours
The Hours, Virginia and Leonard at the Train Station
It is readily apparent how well acted this scene is by both actors. The reason the acting seems so genuine is that it is drawing on universal themes and human frailty.
The Hours Film
Publisher Description
The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel becomes a motion picture starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman, directed by Stephen Daldry from a screenplay by David Hare
The Hours tells the story of three women: Virginia Woolf, beginning to write Mrs. Dalloway as she recuperates in a London suburb with her husband in 1923; Clarissa Vaughan, beloved friend of an acclaimed poet dying from AIDS, who in modern-day New York is planning a party in his honor; and Laura Brown, in a 1949 Los Angeles suburb, who slowly begins to feel the constraints of a perfect family and home. By the end of the novel, these three stories intertwine in remarkable ways and finally come together in an act of subtle and haunting grace.
The Hours is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
