The House of the Spirits [VHS]
starring: Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons, Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas
directed by: Bille August






Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The House of the Spirits is a generational tale of life among the ruling class in a South American country, as adapted from the Isabel Allende novel, but the political realities coexist very uneasily with the magical realism in this Bille August film. The star power alone (Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas, Vanessa Redgrave, and Armin Mueller-Stahl) should have cranked it up a few notches, but that's not the case. Irons is appropriately cruel as the ambitious man who achieves wealth and makes everyone around him miserable and Streep is luminous, but it's slow and ponderous all the way. --Marshall Fine

POWERHOUSE 5 out of 5 stars
Wonderful stuff! Violence done, but underplayed just enough. Classy!
I like the spiritual dimension of this too. I read a number of Harold Klemp's books,
and they helped me most with a spiritual understanding of how life works.
Also Dethlefsen is very fine on that. - - -
