Synopsis

Faithfully adapted from Willian Styron's best-selling novel, Alan J. Pakula's handsome production of Sophie's Choice (Special Edition) charts the course of an eccentric and intense love triangle in 1947 Brooklyn, New York. Meryl Streep won an Academy Award for her carefully nuanced performance and perfect accent as Sophie--a Polish survivor of a WWII concentration camp who harbors a devastating secret. The film is told through the eyes of an aspiring Southern author named Stingo (Emmy-nominated Peter MacNichol of "Ally Mcbeal"), who moves to New York and who strikes a friendship with Sophie and her boyfriend Nathan (played by Kevin Kline in his debut screen role).

Customer Reviews

Is this DVD anamorphic wildescreen?
Anyone know is this Sophie Choice 25th Anniversary is anamorphic widescreen or not? Really love this movie and the 10 years old Region 1 released in just letterbox widescreen!

GOOD BUT NOT THAT GOOD
Watched this film for the second time and still have some reservations about it. Somewhat overrated regarding the acting of Meryl Streep I feel she didn`t always convince me. Very strong subject matter but failed to make me feel that involved with her and her sorrow. Loved the acting of the actor playing Stingo(having a senior moment can`t remember his name)
Felt for him a lot involved with two such troubled charaters as a young man finding his way in life. Gave the film 4 stars on the strength of his performance.
