American actress Julia Roberts shot to superstardom with her breakthrough role in the coming-of-age major motion film ‘Mystic Pizza’, back in 1988. Since then, there are hardly any genres that the Academy Award winning actress has not delivered a career-defining performance in.
Her genre-spanning (read: genre-defining) career spans titles like ‘Erin Brokovich’, ‘Pretty Woman’, ‘Steel Magnolias’, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, ‘Eat Pray Love’, ‘Homecoming’, and more. Perhaps, one of her most overlooked titles is Mike Newell’s 2003 ‘Mona Lisa Smile’.
Very similar to Peter Weir’s adaptation of Nancy H. Kleinbaum’s classic ‘Dead Poets Society’, the film follows Katherine Watson, a pioneering teacher of art history in 1953 at the respectable all-female Wellesley College. She not only encourages her conservative students to question and disregard the outdated societal bounds established for women, but she also leads by example.
The film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast including Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Marcia Gay Harden, Ginnifer Goodwin, and more. To stream the feel-good tragicomedy drama, head on over to Prime Video to rent the title in HD for just Rs. 69!
Not only does the feature further the notion of ‘Carpe Diem’, its true essence lies in the various means of expression that its characters find throughout its course!
