Evening

Director Lajos Koltai teams with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham to adapt author Susan Minot's best-selling novel exploring the romantic past and emotional present of a woman who recalls 50 years of life and love as she lies on her death bed in the company of her daughters. Ann Grant (Vanessa Redgrave) has lived a rich and rewarding life, but now the time has come for her to leave this world behind. As Ann's two daughters, Constance (Natasha Richardson) and Nina (Toni Collette), rush to their mother's bedside, the moribund matriarch recalls the defining romance she shared with a handsome young man (Patrick Wilson) 50 years prior. Claire Danes stars as Redgrave's youthful counterpart in this romantic drama that proves that even the briefest of loves can offer enough memories to fill a lifetime.
