The Hours is a 2002 psychological period drama directed by Stephen Daldry from a screenplay by David Hare, adapted from Michael Cunningham's 1998 novel of the same name, produced by Miramax Films and Scott Rudin Productions. The film interweaves three narratives connected through Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs Dalloway: Woolf herself writing the book in 1923, played by Nicole Kidman; Laura Brown, an unhappily married Los Angeles housewife in 1951, played by Julianne Moore; and Clarissa Vaughan, a New York book editor preparing a party for a friend dying of AIDS in 2001, played by Meryl Streep. The film grossed 108.8 million dollars worldwide and received nine Academy Award nominations, with Kidman winning Best Actress at the 75th Academy Awards.
