Product Information

Lasse Hallstrom (CHOCOLAT, MY LIFE AS A DOG) presents this strong, quiet, chillingly deep adaptation of the popular novel by E. Annie Proulx. In a fishing port set in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, newspaper journalist Quoyle (Kevin Spacey), his young daughter Bunny (Alyssa Gainer), and his stern aunt Agnis Hamm (Dame Judi Dench) have reclaimed their ancestral home, which stood vacant for 40 years perched over the raging sea on the edge of a cliff. The fresh air and the mundane routine of the sleepy village act as a balm for Quoyle's wounds. Having grown up with unhappy parents who cautioned him that he'd never amount to anything, Quoyle thought he'd finally found a stroke of luck when he fell in love with Petal (a surprisingly slutty but no less beautiful Cate Blanchett), Bunny's mother. However, after Petal's sudden death, and the simultaneous passing of his loveless parents, Quoyle's migration from downtrodden Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to coastal Canada is his salvation. As Quoyle gains confidence and pride daily through his coworkers at the tiny newspaper the Gammy Bird, through his friendship with Wavey (a lovely Julianne Moore), and through his reconciliation with some spooky family secrets from the distant past, Quoyle, Bunny, and Agnis slowly find new direction, new hope, and the beginnings of a new life.

  • Kevin Spacey and Judi Dench are great in this one.

    I don't know how well this movie follows the book it is based upon, but it stands by itself as an engaging story. Kevin Spacey plays a character that has been beaten down all his life. He meets a woman who makes him feel loved but she abuses him emotionally by running around. They have a child together named Bunny. When the woman, Petal, dies in an automobile accident with her current fling, Spacey's character comes to a fork in the road of his life. Should he and Bunny stay where they are, or should they go to their ancestral home in New Newfoundland with his aunt who has just turned up in their lives? The Aunt, played by Judi Dench, is a steady "rock" that they attach themselves to and travel to Newfoundland. This is where the movie gets really interesting and I won't spoil it by revealing the plot. Just let me say that the characters come alive in this new location in funny and poignant ways.
