A Quiet Passion is Terence Davies' biographical drama detailing the life of Emily Dickinson; her loves, her struggles, and her magnificent poetry. Shot on set in Belgium and on location in Amherst, Massachusetts, A Quiet Passion paints a sympathetic but far from idealistic portrait of Emily's life.
Director: Terrance Davies
Starring: Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Ehle, Keith Carradine

The stately rhythms of the dialogue — drawn out by the particulars of Davies’ blocking, framing and editing — become a kind of music. The effect is bewildering at first, then absorbing, then transfixing. Its purpose, in line with the loftiest ideals of poetry itself, is to clear the mind and stir the soul.
