There’s now an extra layer of poignancy to this 2002 tragicomedy, in that we have now also tragically lost its star, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Although the role of Wilson wasn’t written specifically for Hoffman, the screenplay was written by his older brother Gordy. Wilson is a man who has been left destroyed by the unexpected suicide of his wife Liz...
Robert Redford made his stunning directorial debut in 1980 with an adaptation of Judith Guest’s 1978 novel. Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Timothy Hutton are the Jarretts, Calvin, Beth, and Conrad, a family left reeling after their older son, Buck, dies in a sailing accident. The surviving son, Conrad, has only recently returned home afte...
Kathleen Quinlan received acclaim for her 1977 role as Deborah, a young woman, possibly schizophrenic, in a mental institution following a suicide attempt. A privileged upbringing and a pretty face are no protection as she struggles to exist in reality rather than the fantasy world that she consistently escapes to. The institution threatens her san...
The 1971 black comedy is perhaps more talked about as a curious May-December romance than a film about suicide, but it’s eloquent on the subject of both. Teenage Harold Chasen (Bud Cort) is obsessed with all things morbid, and while attending a stranger’s funeral (a hobby of his), he meets Maude (Ruth Gordon), a quirky, law-breaking elderly woman w...
Based on Susanna Kaysen’s seminal 1993 memoir, James Mangold’s 1999 adaptation stars Winona Ryder as the suicidal Susanna during her time on a psychiatric ward. She’s surrounded by patients worse off than herself, schizophrenics and bulimics and self-harmers, liars and sociopaths. Angelina Jolie, Clea Duvall, and Elisabeth Moss all give standout pe...
Sofia Coppola’s dreamy 1999 film adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ much-loved 1993 novel moves along some of the same lines as Love Liza(see above), with more of a focus on those left behind than on the victims of suicide. It’s the 1970s and the five teenage Lisbon sisters are like princesses from a European fairy tale: beautiful, gracious, enigmati...
Virginia Woolf as played by Nicole Kidman is only in one-third of this sectioned film, but her presence (and the influence of her novel Mrs. Dalloway) looms large throughout the whole movie. In 1923, Woolf is struggling through a bout of depression to write the book that many consider being her masterpiece, detailing one day in the life of Clarissa...
The minimalist long takes of Iranian auteur Abbas Kiarostami’s 1997 film contribute to the isolation of the main character, Mr. Badii, a middle-aged man on a mission driving his car through Tehran, hoping to find someone who will bury him once he has killed himself. Unsurprisingly, the first few people he asks decline, especially as Badii is unwill...
The tragic story of Christine Chubbuck was the inspiration for not one but two films released in 2016, the other being a documentary entitled Kate Plays Christine. Chubbuck was a lonely news reporter in Sarasota, Florida, frustrated at work and in her dating life as she approached 30. Her family knew of her mental health struggles, but it was a com...
