The Hours
The Hours is a drama directed by Stephen Daldry, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham.

Each woman faces her own personal struggles, and the film explores themes of mental health, identity, and the search for meaning in everyday life.

The film's suspenseful moments, combined with John Williams' iconic score, turned Jaws into a cultural phenomenon and established Spielberg as a master of blockbuster filmmaking.
