Director: Tod Williams, 2004. Drama.
(from novel: "A Widow for One Year" by John Irving)
Jeff Bridges, Kim Basinger, Elle Fanning, Jon Foster.

|
The most dangerous secrets are the ones we're afraid to tell ourselves. |

|
A writer's young assistant becomes both pawn and catalyst in his boss'
disintegrating household. |

|
In "The Door in the Floor", adapted from John Irving’s novel, Bridges
plays Ted Cole, a grizzled, idiosyncratic children’s book writer and
illustrator. |

|
He renders an intelligent, multi-nuanced performance as a man forced to
deal with the accidental death of his two boys, a depressed wife, and a
marriage falling apart. However, despite personal sorrow, marital
strain, and awareness of his wife’s affair with his 16-year-old
assistant, Ted refuses to wallow in self-pity. |

|
Role ingredients: At the risk of trivializing his rich, complex part in "The
Door in the Floor", it’s noteworthy that he plays an eccentric novelist, a
womanizer with foul mouth, a man walking around his house naked in the most
unselfconscious manner imaginable. |
