A film adaptation of American literary giant John Irving's ``A Year in the Widow''

Great movies don't necessarily get rave reviews. There are many works whose existence can be forgotten simply because of a failure in one of a variety of factors, such as popularity, topicality, timing, publicity policy, or the tailwinds of the times. ``The Door in the Floor'' (2004), starring the famous actors Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger, and starring Elle Fanning, who was 4 years old at the time, as her daughter, depicts the unfortunate story of such a sad experience. It's a masterpiece.

Irving is a best-selling author who has gained popularity for his unique worldview where tragedy and comedy coexist, and many of his works have been made into films, including `` The World According to Garp '' (1982) and `` Hotel New Hampshire '' (1984). He also wrote the screenplay for `` The Cider House Rules '' (1999), directed by Lasse Hallström, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
