Mildred Pierce [videorecording] / HBO ; MGM ; Killer Films ; directed by Todd Haynes ; teleplay by Todd Haynes & Jon Raymond.
This five-part drama is an intimate portrait of a uniquely independent woman who finds herself newly divorced during the Depression years, as she struggles to carve out a new life for herself and her family. The story explores Mildred's unreasonable devotion to her insatiable daughter Veda, as well as the complex relationship she shares with the indolent men in her life, including her polo-playing lover Monty Beragon and ex-husband Bert Pierce.
