Iris is a love story about Iris Murdoch and her husband of 40 years, Professor John Bayley. The movie actually doesn't tell you much about Murdoch, who was a brilliant novelist, but it's an interesting study of love, semi-eccentric intellectuals and the passage of time.
Iris Murdoch died in 1999 of Alzheimer's Disease. Iris is split between scenes of her youth and scenes of her decline, with Kate Winslet playing the young Iris and Judi Dench playing the mature Iris.
