Hilary und Jackie (1998)

Hilary und Jackie: Directed by Anand Tucker. With Emily Watson, Rachel Griffiths, James Frain, David Morrissey. The tragic story of world renowned classic cellist Jacqueline du Pré, as told from the point of view of her sister, flautist Hilary du Pré-Finzi.

“This heavy subject matter is so well done, it left me wanting more! The acting is superb. I have always loved Rachel Griffiths and she doesnu0026#39;t let the viewer down in this one either. She pulls this one off fantastically and IS Hilary du Pré! Emily Watsonu0026#39;s performance is unbelievable and should have been recognized with a multitude of awards. It is amazing how well she acts in this. One truly believes that SHE has Multiple Sclorosis. I was amazed at how well she played the scenes. I just canu0026#39;t say enough about this film. I highly recommend that if you want quality writing and acting and are prepared for some realistic yet somewhat disturbing subject matter about life, RENT this film!”
