Sophie's Choice (1982)
Country: US
Technical: col 150m
Director: Alan J. Pakula
Cast: Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Peter MacNicol
Synopsis:
A survivor of the holocaust lives with an American Jew in New York City after the war, but his febrile temperament and her own private ghosts seem to render happiness impossible.
Review:
Pakula's adaptation of Styron's best-selling novel means well and paces its revelations carefully, but is too screamingly one-note for such a punishing running time, and Kline's antics grate after a while. Miss Streep, on the other hand, never looked back.
