Movie Reviews of Eden
Movie Review: A forgotten gem!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the moment to account the list of the hidden jewels of the American Cinema we tend to dismiss this one. A touching tale of the 60's where Joanna Going made an exceptional work in this picture as the desperate wife named Helen who is tiring about the constant and gradually more constraints of his domineering husband and a degenerating illness. But the destiny gives her the last smile and reason to live when she found a soul mate who will understand her even better than her husband in her desire to be free.
A major and outstanding script -Beware: you won't see special effects- that definitively passed without stopping by the commercial circuits. So please beware; take your time and go for this haunting and lessoned story.
Summary of Eden
Helen Kunen is a young woman who is caught between her duties as a 1960's housewife and her longings to be independent and free.Married to Bill, a teacher at Mt. Eden prep school, she feels stifled by her husband's limited expectations for her and the physical restrictions of living with the debilitating disease multiple sclerosis. Dave, a troubled student who boards with them, develops a crush on Helen who, contrary to Bill's hard-nosed approach, gently encourages him. Helen's life becomes increasingly un bearable, but in the face of her despair she starts to realize her potential to be liberated from her physical being through dreams of flight and out-of-body experiences. However, with each incredible spiritual awaking, Helen grows more and more ill before eventually slipping into a coma. But, through the devotion of her husband and the young man who worships her, she finally discovers love's overwhelming power to heal.
