Plot: The film follows Stingo, an aspiring young writer who moves to New York just post-WWII to a Brooklyn boarding house where he becomes friends with Nathan Landau (Kevin Kline), a Jewish research chemist and Nathan's girlfriend, Polish refugee Sophie Zawistowska (Meryl Streep). Nathan and Sophie’s relationship is clouded by Nathan’s violent behavior, his uncontrollable jealousy, and Sophie’s unexpressed but troubling memories of her war experience. Her stories about her life during the war begin to unravel, exposing her as a liar and adding a tone of mystery to the strained relationship between Nathan, Stingo, and herself. The film culminates in a flashback reflecting the horrors of the war and the true cause of Sophie’s insufferable pain. Director Alan J. Pakula’s film, a departure from his conspiracy and suspense dramas, was an adaptation of William Styron’s best-selling novel and the story itself was based on his experiences as a southerner living in Brooklyn in 1947.
