![]() ![]() Together, they both leave the States and move back to the family homestead in VERY rural Newfoundland. He even grieves when the woman dies after she leaves him AND tries to sell her daughter!! Quoyle has no idea what to do with his life when an aunt he doesn't know (Judi Dench) arrives. But, he's so dependent and thinks so little of herself that he accepts this. Inexplicably, he falls for a woman who turns out to be a complete tramp-and this is being very kindly towards the woman to refer to her this way! The woman is simply no good and cheats on Quoyle-right in front of him. ![]() Quoyle is a sad sort of man-emotionally constricted and bullied by his uncaring father. However, if you appreciate a film that accentuates acting and story instead of explosions and breasts, then it may just be the film for you! Kevin Spacey plays a man simply called 'Quoyle'. However, it is so unconventional, so slow and so anti-Hollywood in style that I am pretty sure it's NOT a film that most folks would enjoy. "The Shipping News" is an exceptionally good film. ![]()
