Description:
A woman's struggle to have her voice heard in a man's world is 'startlingly moving' (The Wall Street Journal) in this cinematic adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's famous play. 'Superior performances' (The New York Times) by Claire Bloom (Crimes and Misdemeanors) and Oscar®winner* Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal) set the stage for an engrossing and remarkable drama.Nora (Bloom) will do anything to please her authoritarian husband Torvald (Hopkins). Per Torvald's instructions, Nora focuses on such womanly disciplines as dancing and taking care of babies whilehe sees to all the affairs of money. But when a past financial mistake comes back to haunt Nora, and Torvald finds out, the result is an explosion of fury and a shocking revelation that changes the course of the entire family forever. *1991: Actor, The Silence of the Lambs

This superb version of Henrik Ibsen's classic play A Doll's Housestars Claire Bloom (Brideshead Revisited, Charly) as Nora, asweet and lively but frivolous woman whose puritanical husband Torvald(Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs, The ElephantMan) loves her but doesn't take her seriously. As Torvald assumes anew position as a bank manager, an old debt of Nora's intrudes upon theirhappy life and reveals secret sides of both husband and wife. The play hasbeen skillfully turned into film, tightening the action and providing theopportunity for intimate performances from an outstanding cast that alsoincludes Sir Ralph Richardson (The Fallen Idol, Greystoke: TheLegend of Tarzan), Dame Edith Evans (Tom Jones, TheImportance of Being Earnest), Denholm Elliott (Raiders of the LostArk, A Room with a View), and other topnotch British actors.--Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Review of Henry Ibsen's "A Doll's House" Starring Claire Bloom
I was not even able to view this item, let alone review it, as the DVD kept showing "Invalid Region" and would not play on my UK system. I think I should have been told about this as my address was clearly in the UK and Not USA or Canada. I was therefore disappointed with my purchase and lost money on it.A Doll's House
Rating:  - Bloom to Hopkins to Richardson
Ibsen's "A Doll's House with the superb acting of Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins and Ralph Richardson. Hubby(Hopkins) dominating and authoritarian in his manner commands his wife lead a perfect and errorless existence. One minor transgression on her part and Hubby goes ballistic. Knowing that her live in almost servant status in the household will end with nothing changing, nothing getting better, she bolts the abode to find her identity and Daddy mind the Baby, much to his consternation. Alls well ... Read More
Rating: - Worth Showing
Anthony Hopkins is wonderful as Torvald capturing both the insecure man and the dominating husband.The film is very close to the text.The director staged more aggression from Torvald in the final scene, but my students all agreed that even that, was true to his character and the integrity of the story.
Rating: - A Doll's House, Seriously
This 1970s production of Ibsen's classic play is well worth the viewing -- it's a solid and believable -- if unsensational -- reading of one of the most famous plays in literature -- and one of the key documents in feminism. The total lack of gimmickry and straight interpretation work in its favor -- A Doll's House is one of the canonical works that doesn't need to be updated. Claire Bloom & Anthony Hopkins (the latter shockingly young) support this production with subtle, nuanced, powerful performances. ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent satire played straight
Director Patrick Garland's interpretation of Ibsen's famous social satire 'A Doll's House,' while competent and loyal to the source material, lacks effect, I think, mainly for its needlessly dry, Victorian take on a vital, perpetually contemporary theme: the systematic marginalization of those who resist the roles assigned to them by the prevailing mores and conventions of society.Missing in this production is the spirit of Ibsen's wit, which I believe would help us chuckle sympathetically, rather than scowl ...
