The Door

Movie • 2004 • Drama  

Report
Alternately tragic and comic, an exploration of the complexities of love in both its brightest and darkest corners. Adapted from John Irving's best-selling novel A Widow for One Year, the film is set in the privileged beach community of East Hampton, New York and chronicles one pivotal summer in the lives of famous children's book author Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) and his beautiful wife Marion (Kim Basinger). Their once-great marriage has been strained by tragedy. Her resulting despondency and his subsequent infidelities have prevented the couple from confronting a much-needed change in their relationship. Eddie O'Hare, the young man Ted hires to work as his summer assistant, is the couple's unwitting yet willing pawn - and, ultimately, the catalyst in the transformation of their lives.

The dog's name was not Rex, it was Viola. It was a male, but one of the characters insists on calling him Viola. You find out why later in the movie.

Since for some reason, all the other triggers are grayed out and aren't editable, I will say this here: Several beloved cats die. A young cow, who had become a child's pet, dies, and then the child is forced to watch it being butchered.

Also, someone does commit suicide.
