It was in fact very moving - drawing you into a the completely unknownmind of this women and the people around her - no one left the cinemaimmediately but just stayed and stared - were they as upset as I was ? It was all the more interesting coming one day after a very interestingdocumentary of the journey of the Mayflower migrants from 1. Holland for a new life and then to a ship in 1.

Atlantic so their children would still be English and not Dutchpuritans - the documentary forces you to step into the minds andmotives of these people, who should have perished but managed tosurvive due to a powerful faith - which appears just nonsense to me - but it does come from the times - the evolution of human consciousness. Emily Dickinson is there 2. Irish Catholicism in Boston - in astyle reminiscent of a theater play of the day - at first too witty andfull of riposte, but which slowly takes hold of you. The actors are all good, but the driving force is the question of whatit was like to be a woman in this time - what did they actually thinkand do - why did Emily and her sister not marry but stay at home - wasthe world outside, and the society of men, so cold, foreign and formalthat they stayed where they were sure there was warmth.

A good film if you want to realize you don't really understand howother people see the world - and to be moved by the fact they simplyexist and feel, and are then snuffed out like a candle flame.

The poems are read by a voice- over, whichis not the easiest way to appreciate poetry. But at the same time, thepoems are a necessary element to understand Dickinson as she was. Cynthia Nixon gives a good, restrained performance.

It's nice to seeher in a role that's the complete opposite from the career lawyer. Miranda in 'Sex and the City'. Director Davies doesn't speed things up. The film is a calm and quietaffair, which is good because Dickinson's life itself was calm andquiet.

Some scenes are beautiful just because they are unhurried: inone scene, the camera moves extremely slowly around Dickinson's livingroom, lingering on walls and doors as well as on the people present. If you are acquainted with Emily Dickinson's work, this film gives aninteresting insight into her life and her poetry. If you're not, thisfilm is a great introduction to it.

Reviewed by. Howard Schumann. Vote: 7/1. 0/1. 0The great American poet Emily Dickinson wrote: . One interpretation of her life andwork is provided by Terence Davies in his film A Quiet Passion, asympathetic but overwritten and curiously wooden look at her life andthe influences that shaped her art. Starring Cynthia Nixon (. Raised in the Puritan New England city of. Amherst, Massachusetts (the film is shot near Antwerp, Belgium) thepoet was lonely and secretive throughout her life, seldom left home,and visitors were few. She stayed with her family all of her life, living through births,marriages, and deaths but always setting aside the early morning hoursin her study to compose.

Bright and outgoing as a young woman, Emily isportrayed as becoming more isolated, and bitter as she grows older. Heronly companions were her austere and unforgiving father, Edward (Keith. Carradine, . As the film opens, Emily is tagged as anoutsider almost immediately.

As a young student (Emma Bell, . Her willingness to challenge conventional thinking by dismissing. Longfellow's poem . Her only refuge from family conflicts anddisappointments was her intimate relationship with Vinnie, thecompanionship of her best friend Vryling Buffam (Catherine Bailey, . Irreverent and provocative, Emily, Vinnie, and Vryling areshown walking through the gardens, exchanging witty aphorisms whilethey twirl their parasols, but the element of artifice is overbearing. We do not see Emily in the process of composition but listen to herpoems read aloud in voice- over. They are the highlight of the film, butthere are not enough of them and too much time is spent on Emily's sadphysical deterioration as she confronts the debilitating Bright'sdisease.

In this regard, there is no subtlety in the film'spresentation as the camera unnecessarily lingers over Emily's shakingfits for an inordinate length of time and her last days are anendurance test for the audience. In spite of the family's strongreligious approach to life, there is no reflection about her life andlegacy or talk about life's meaning and purpose. Though Emily Dickinson's poetry glimmers with a spiritual glow, theuniqueness of who she is does not fully come across. For all of itsfine performances and moments of comic satire, A Quiet Passion isdramatically inert, and its stilted and mannered dialogue is anemotional straitjacket with each character talking to the other as ifthey were reading a book of aphorisms. Terence Davies has directed somememorable period films in his career such as his remarkable adaptationof Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. A Quiet Passion, however, hasneither quiet nor passion.

Gratitude must be offered, however, to. Davies for introducing the poems of Emily Dickinson to a wideraudience. Thanks Terence and thanks Emily.
