The Prince of Tides
US (1991): Drama/Romance
Tom Wingo (Nick Nolte) is unhappy with his life. His wife doesn't understand him and he also doesn't get along with his dominant mother. When his twin sister attempts suicide, her psychologist Susan Lowenstein (Barbra Streisand) consults him. Patiently and cautiously she uncovers the terrible secret hidden in Tom and Savannah's childhood. On the other side she's unhappy too and so both help each other to find their way back to life. Streisand directed this highly successful film, and there were several roars of protest when her name was not among the nominees for best director. (Amazon.com)
