Some called it a snooze-fest, while others tearfully clutched their Kleenex. In any case, Clint Eastwood was an unusual and (as it turned out) perceptive choice to direct and costar in this lush adaptation of Robert James Waller's phenomenally bestselling novel. Meryl Streep costars as Francesca, the lonely Iowa farmer's wife who is instantly attracted to Robert (Eastwood), the photographer from National Geographic who is in the area to photograph the bridges along Iowa's rural roadways. The two fall in love while Francesca's husband and children are away at a county fair, but the story's passion and lasting appeal derive from their decision to part forever after just a few brief days of intimate connection. Superbly acted with an emphasis on quiet, graceful moments of tender revelation, the film builds to a crescendo of powerful and conflicting emotions. Like David Lean's Brief Encounter (to which it bears marked similarities), The Bridges of Madison County is destined to become one of the classic movie love stories. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
World-traveling National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid and Iowa housewife Francesca Johnson aren't looking to turn their lives upside down. Each is at a point in life where expectations are behind them. Yet four days after meeting they wont want to lose the love they've found. Academy Award winners' Meryl Streep (earning her 10th Oscar nomination for this performance) and Clint Eastwood (who also produces and directs) bring blazing starpower and powerful conviction to the beloved characters of Robert James Waller's best seller of love choice and consequence. With luck a love like that happens to some of us sooner or later. For Robert and Francesca it was later. And it was glorious.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE UPC: 085391157212 Manufacturer No: 115721

This is a film that I first dismissed as corny, but as time has passed I can now appreciate the struggles of the protagonists in middle-age angst, tempted by the overwhelming feelings that love can bring. The book was horrific tripe, but the film is done well, thanks to C Eastwood who is masterful as a director and actor, not to mention to the incredible Ms. Streep (as always!)
WONDERFUL LOVE, ROMANCE DRAMA July 22, 2008
BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY THE NAME SPEAKS FOR IT SELF, MY WIFE ENJOYS THIS MOVIES AS WELL AS ME. SEE THIS MOVIE SHOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH ROUTINE AND HOW YOU CAN KEEP A SECRET SO BOT TO HURT ANYONE BY KNOWING YOU MADE A MISTAKE. THEN YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR FAMILY EVEN THOUGH YOU FEKT TRAP. SO I RECOMMEND TO MAKE THIS A MOVIE NIGHT WITH POPCORN AND SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH THE SPOUSE SO IT DONT HAPPEN TO YOU.

Eastwood's tear jerker is finally released in definitive Edition.After the bare bone release (FULL PICTURE!!)years ago ,Warner finally considered this classic for a re-release.It has an audio commentary from the editor and the camera operator.There ares some nice docs and the film is presented in it's full wide screen glory and a new 5.1 Dolby track.
It's great to watch this wonderful movie as it was ment to seen.
Sit back and enjoy.
