Mrs. Dalloway, perhaps Virginia Woolf's biggest novel, follows British socialite Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for a celebration in post-World Conflict I London. Four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening (North american Beauty, The Kids Are All Right) performs Woolf's stream-of-consciousness design of storytelling brilliantly, checking out the invisible springs of thought and action in a single day of a woman's life.When we first meet Clarissa Dalloway, she actually is preoccupied with the last-minute minutiae of party-planning while being flooded with memories of long ago. Clarissa then examines the realities of today's as the storyplot trips forwards and back in time and in and out of different people' minds. Mrs. Dalloway is daring not only in its stream-of-consciousness form, but also in its content. Woolf's depiction of Septimus Warren Smith brings to light the unappealing and often ignored truth of the way the brutality of war can drive men mad. We also get to see comprehensive how our main protagonist, Clarissa Dalloway, suffers from her own form of mental damage: the more subtle, day-to-day oppression of British society.
