This movie is based on the life of revered British writer and philosopher Iris Murdoch (Dame Judi Dench), is a story of unlikely yet enduring love. As a young academic, teaching philosophy at Oxford, Murdoch (Kate Winslet) meets and eventually falls in love with fellow professor John Bayley (Hugh Bonneville), a man whose awkwardness seems in stark opposition to the spirited self-confidence of his future wife. The story unfolds as snippets of time, seen through older Bayleys (Jim Broadbents) eyes. He recalls their first encounter over forty years ago, activities they enjoyed doing together, and Iris charismatic and individualistic personality. These images portray Murdoch as a vibrant young woman with great intellect and are contrasted with the novelists later life, after the effects of Alzheimers disease have ravaged her. Murdochs great mind deteriorates until she is reduced to a mere vestige of her former self, unable to perform simple tasks and completely reliant on her at times frustrated yet devoted husband.
A moving and tender depiction of the novelist Iris Murdochs (Dame Judi Denchs) descent into Alzheimers Disease, covering the period from just before her marriage to intellectual John Bayley (Hugh Bonneville) until her death.
