1. Little Women (1994)
A 1994 American drama film directed by Gillian Armstrong. The screenplay by Robin Swicord is based on the Louisa May Alcott novel of the same name. The film focuses on the March sisters — beautiful Meg (Trini Alvarado), tempestuous Jo (Winona Ryder), tender Beth(Claire Danes), and romantic Amy (Kirsten Dunst) —growing up in Concord, Massachusetts during and after the American Civil War.
2. The Portrait of a Lady (1996)
This is a 1996 film adaptation of Henry James’s novel The Portrait of a Lady directed by Jane Campion. The film tells the story of Isabel Archer (Kidman), an innocent young woman of independent means who is manipulated by her“friend” Madame Merle (Hershey) and the devious Gilbert Osmond (Malkovich). The film is relatively faithful to the novel but caused controversy with an interpolated dream sequence in which Isabel has an erotic fantasy involving all of her suitors.
