Sophie is the survivor of Nazi concentration camps, who has found a reason to live with Nathan, a sparkling if unsteady American Jew obsessed with the Holocaust. They befriend Stingo, the movie's narrator, a young American writer new to New York City. But the happiness of Sophie and Nathan is endangered by her ghosts and his obsessions.
"Directed by Alan J. Pakula, 'Sophie’s Choice' is a powerful film that will break your heart (it's no wonder legendary Meryl Streep won her second Oscar). It may be a bit dated narratively for our time, especially considering it runs almost three hours, but it is also a demonstration of its leading actress's immense talent."
