Nude Celebs: Gwyneth Paltrow - This 2003 movie tells the true story of American poet/novelist Sylvia Plath and her stormy romance and marriage to English poet Ted Hughes. An excellent performance by Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't stop it from being mostly boring and draggy, but lovers of deep and insightful character studies may like it nonetheless.
Plath struggled with suicidial urges throughout her life and finally succumbed to those urges using the unpoetic method of sticking her head in an unlit gas oven, triggered by the continuing unfaithfulness of her husband. The movie, mostly a downer, will best be viewed by fans of her work, poetry, or sad romances.
