The Bridges of Madison County
1995
****
Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Annie Corley, Victor Slezak
A touching drama about a housewife and a National Geographic photographer who have a brief but intense love affair in the mid-1960s. Richard LaGravanese's screenplay is based on Robert James Waller's novel, and it uses an unnecessary modern-day framing device and cannot seem to wrap up the story in a satisfactory manner. Meryl Streep gives another phenomenal performance and Clint isn't too bad himself.
