The greatest film depicting the bond between mother and
daughter to ever grace the screen, James
L. Brooks adaptation of Larry McMurty’s novel covers three decades in the
lives of widow Aurora Greenaway (Shirley
MacLaine) and her daughter Emma (Debra
Winger), meditating on the cycles of
time and nature of family. From grand slapstick to deepest sentiment, director
Brooks masterfully paints scenes from their evolving 30-year relationship. Dazzling
critics and audiences alike, Terms of
Endearment would win five Academy
Awards: Best Picture, Actress, Supporting Actor (for Jack Nicholson), Director and Adapted Screenplay. (1983, 132 mins)
