Four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening (American Beauty, The Kids Are All Right) performs Woolfs stream-of-consciousness style of storytelling brilliantly, exploring the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a womans life. When we first meet Clarissa Dalloway, she is preoccupied with the last-minute minutiae of party-planning while being flooded with memories of long ago. Clarissa then examines the realities of the present as the story travels forwards and back in time and in and out of different characters minds. Mrs. Dalloway is daring not only in its stream-of-consciousness form, but also in its content. Woolfs depiction of Septimus Warren Smith brings to light the ugly and often ignored truth of how the brutality of war can drive men mad. We also get to see in depth how our main protagonist, Clarissa Dalloway, suffers from her own form of psychological damage: the more subtle, everyday oppression of English society. Critic Reviews: Bening's work here is fineher tone offers its characteristic graceboth this narrator and this novelist offer tremendous gifts. ( AudioFile)
