Amazon.com Deservedly hailed as one of the best films of 2001， Wit makes it clear why top-ranking talents seek refuge in the quality programming of HBO. Unhindered by box-office pressures， director Mike Nichols and Emma Thompson turn the most unglamorous topic--the physical and psychological ravages of cancer--into an exquisite contemplation of life， learning， and tenacious， richly expressed humanity. In adapting Margaret Edson’s compassionate， Pulitzer Prize-winning play， Nichols and Thompson open up the one-room setting with a superb supporting cast. But their focus remains on the hospital experience of Vivian (Thompson)， a fiercely demanding professor of English literature whose academic specialty--the metaphysical poetry of John Donne--is the armor she wears against the cruel indignities of her cancer treatment. While losing all that she held dear， she reassesses her life as an aloof intellectual， and Wit illuminates her bracingly eloquent and deeply moving struggle for dignity， meaning， and peace at life’s ultimate crossroads. --Jeff Shannon
