Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The House of the Spirits (Danish: Åndernes hus) is a 1993 historical drama film written and directed by Bille August and starring Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas and Vanessa Redgrave. The supporting cast includes María Conchita Alonso, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and Jan Niklas. Based on the 1982 novel by Isabel Allende, the film follows three generations of women from a Chilean family during the country’s military dictatorship. Although the film won several awards in Europe, including Best Film at the Lola Awards from the German Film Academy and the Robert Award from the Danish Film Academy, in America it was regarded as a critical and commercial failure.
