A Quiet Passion -Blu-ray-

Product Description Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson as she personifies the wit, intellectual independence and pathos of the poet whose genius only came to be recognized after her death. Acclaimed British director Terence Davies (House of Mirth, The Deep Blue Sea) exquisitely evokes Dickinson s deep attachment to her close-knit family along with the manners, mores and spiritual convictions of her time that she struggled with and transcended in her poetry. Review An absolute drop-dead masterwork. --Richard Brody, The New Yorker One of the most unique and mesmerizing films of the year. --Jordan Hoffman, Vanity Fair A richly idiosyncratic portrait of Emily Dickinson...played with steely wit and piercing vulnerability by Cynthia Nixon. --Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
