The Hours

The Hours weaves together the lives of three women in different eras—Virginia Woolf in 1920s England, battling mental illness as she writes Mrs. Dalloway; Laura Brown, a 1950s Los Angeles housewife questioning her marriage; and Clarissa Vaughn in modern-day New York, caring for a dying friend. Linked by Woolf’s novel, their stories explore love, loss, and the aching search for meaning, revealing how deeply their lives echo one another. The film received nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, with Kidman winning Best Actress for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf.
Before the screening, we will host a short talk about “The Hours”, by playwright, screenwriter and director of the Culture Department at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality Giora Yahalom.
