Review of The Hours

The Hours (2002)
10/10
A monument of story telling
18 December 2022
I saw this movie 20 years ago and did not see it since. One day, I want to see it again. But it must be on the big screen. I will not watch this one on a flat screen. The story og these 3 women tells so much more - the chemistry of life, the struggle of co-existence, the paradox of decision making without knowing all the numbers. Why, go on and on? And why, some try so hard? And at the end of the doorway there is no angel waiting with open arms.

20 years ago I left the movie with my then-girlfriend and felt in her arms - sobbing and unable to articulate what was going on in my hearth and brain. Up to today I do not know it. But that feeling has never left since I went out of that cinema on a cold night in Vienna so many years ago. The movie ist bound to my body and soul. It is part of my own character. To me - therefore - it is my best movie of all times.
