About this movie

Gabriel and Gretta Conroy (Donal McCann and Anjelica Huston), a young couple in early 1900s Dublin, are enjoying a holiday party when Gretta suddenly has poignant memories of a deceased former love. The shattering revelation of Gretta's secret past causes Gabriel to see his life – and all the world – in an entirely new light.

Ratings and reviews

Superb film in every way. The final scene has never faded in my mind. Beautiful and sad.

I watched this on recommendation from my English Professor. It is a quite interesting movie.

This films true accomplishment is the reanimation of the era and allegiance to the author.
