The Door in the Floor is a 2004 American drama film written and directed by Tod Williams . The screenplay is based on the first third of the 1998 novel A Widow for One Year by John Irving .
Set in an exclusive beach community on Long Island , where children's book author and artist Ted Cole lives with his wife Marion and their young daughter Ruth, usually supervised by her nanny Alice. Their walls are covered with photographs of the couple's teenage sons, who were killed in an automobile accident, which left Marion deeply depressed and the marriage in a shambles. The one shared experience that holds them together is Ruth's ritualistic daily viewing of a home gallery of the deceased sons.
Ted and Marion temporarily separate, each alternately living in the house and in a rented apartment in town. Ted hires Eddie O'Hare to work as his summer assistant and driver, since his own license was suspended for drunk driving.
An aspiring writer, Eddie admires Ted, but he soon finds the older man to be a self-absorbed womanizer with an erratic work schedule, leaving the young assistant to fill his time as best he can. Eddie and Marion soon get involved, which seems not to bother Ted, who enjoys trysts of his own with local resident Evelyn Vaughn ( Mimi Rogers ) while sketching her. When Ruth catches Eddie and her mother having sex, Ted becomes upset and advises Eddie he may have to testify about the incident if Ted needs to fight for custody .
Marion eventually leaves Ted and their daughter, taking with her all the photographs and negatives of their dead sons, except for the one being reframed after it was broken, injuring Ruth. Eddie takes the initiative to retrieve the picture so that Ruth can have at least one partial image of her brothers.
Ted tells Eddie the story of the car accident that killed his sons. He suggests his and Marion's drunkenness and Ted's failure to remove snow from the tail and turn signal lights likely contributed to their sons' deaths. He gives vivid detail, to help Eddie understand Marion's intense despair. Ted does not fully comprehend why Marion left, repeating, "What kind of mother leaves her daughter?"
At the end of the story, while playing squash alone on his court, Ted stops, looks into the camera with resignation, then lifts the door in the floor and descends.
In reference to her sex scene with 18-year-old Jon Foster , Kim Basinger said she was concerned because of the actor's age. "I'm so fond of him and protective of him which is just the opposite to most of these situations because usually I've worked with men who are very protective of me. So this was quite the reverse. But Jon was a trooper, just a lovely guy," Basinger said. [1]
Talking about her full frontal nude scene at 48, Mimi Rogers admitted it was "a little scary," but once she worked out all the particulars with helmer Tod Williams, the clothes came right off. [2]
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 67% based on 144 reviews, and an average rating of 6.46/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though uneven in tone, this is one of the better adaptations of John Irving's novels, with Jeff Bridges giving one of his best performances." [3] On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [4]
A. O. Scott of The New York Times called the film "surely the best movie yet made from Mr. Irving's fiction" and added, "It may even belong in the rarefied company of movies that are better than the books on which they are based . . . If you examine the story closely, you can find soft spots of implausibility and cliché. But the shakiness of some of the film's central ideas . . . matters far less than it might . . . The Door in the Floor nimbly shifts between melodrama and comedy, with a delightful and perfectly executed excursion into high farce near the end, and it seems perpetually to be discovering new possibilities for its characters . . . Mr. Foster and Ms. Basinger are both very good, but the film is dominated by Mr. Bridges' performance . . . [He] not only dominates the movie, he animates it. He is heroically life-size." [5]
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone rated the film three-and-a-half out of four stars, calling it "extraordinary in every way, from the pitch-perfect performances to the delicate handling of explosive subject matter." He added, "It's bumpy going at times. But Williams is a talent to watch and a wonder with the actors. Basinger's haunted beauty burns in the memory – this is her finest work. And Bridges, one of the best actors on the planet, blends the contradictions of Ted . . . into an indelible portrait. You can't shut the door on this spellbinder. It gets into your head." [6]
James Christopher of The Times observed, "What's strange about the film is that it's pitched like a play. There are no obvious ructions yet it bristles with small riddles and puzzling inconsistencies . . . The chemistry is absurd and tragic. Bridges is the obvious pull; Basinger is a one-note trauma . The story is curiously spellbinding, and fabulously ambivalent about their sins." [7]

Tod William's adaptation of what may be considered the greatest work of literature ever produced by John Irving, A Widow for One Year, translates to what may be called one of the greatest comedies of all time. This movie doesn't quite do justice to Irving's novel but no movie can ever really accomplish that as the novel constitutes a very complicated attempt at portraying a complex theme with multiple plot lines and interweaving stories that are very well integrated into a highly satisfactory gestalt that generates the most enjoyable read I have ever had of any work of literature. The movie merely focuses on a specific segment of the novel and rather that adopting the namesake of the book chooses instead to name it "Door in the Floor," referring to a door beneath the floor of the hero's squash court. It traces the story of an estranged couple who hires a chauffeur to perform the task of driving for the hero who works as a writer of children's books; who hires him on the account that he reminds him of his dead son who is dearly treasured and missed by his wife. And, having caught the young man masturbating to her dress, Kim Basinger is taken with the boy whose resemblance to her son further incites her desire to have an affair with him which later involves sexual intercourse. Basinger's daughter catches them in the dog style and this, eventually, becomes known to her husband who considers using it as grounds to file for custody of their child. The movie is hilarious in almost every respect and leaves one with a good feeling about the characters and the film. A fine comedy by a relatively unknown director.
A movie worth owning, and it improves with several viewings. Jeff Bridges at first comes across as a real jerk in his character role, but as you watch the film, the personalities are really hard to pin down as any cliché. It is a fascinating drama and very intense sexual undercurrents keep you in suspense. But it is not only an erotic story, there is also much humor and irony blended in. You see enough passion to get the point. It leaves you hungry for more, perhaps by design or intention of the producers of this story Kim is her naturally attractive self, and the mutual seduction between her and Eddie, is very well done, gradually getting you 'hooked' on the energy of his first infatuation. Also the layers of metaphor from the Children's story, 'Door in the Floor' weave into the story to make it very interesting from several unusual angles.
After the loss of both their sons, Ted and Marion Cole's marriage is falling apart. They communicate mostly through Eddie, the Exeter student Ted has hired to be his writing assistant. Their daughter, Ruth, conceived after the boys' deaths, is as nearly obsessed with the deceased boys as Marion. Ruth spends much of her time recounting anecdotes about them while looking at their photographs, which line both sides of the hallway in their house. It is Ruth's growing obsession that no doubt leads Marion to leave marriage and motherhood in an attempt to protect Ruth: "I don't want her [Ruth]to be like me." The title is named for the children's book of the same name that Ted has authored. The children's story is a fable which portrays Ted and Marion's loss and causes us to question whether the joys in life are worth the pain that happens with their inevitable end. The "door" is like the gates of Eden. Once we pass through, we are no longer innocent. We know the pain of life. Kim Basinger is brilliant as the afflicted mother, but it is Jeff Bridges' portrayal of Ted Cole that steals the show. He manages to make Ted, a truly despicable character, into a man we can sympathize with, even love. His final act is unexpected and unspeakably poignant. This film joins the handful of films that I truly love.
Numerous other reviews have covered this movie thoroughly. I bought this dvd some time ago on amazon. I simply wanted to add my five star vote, as the movie is unusually haunting, elegant and starkly beautiful to me as well. It's one of few that I care to watch repeatedly- not to mention listen to the all instrumental soundtrack CD which matches and enhances the film's mood and achievement. Yes, it's a pity Jeff Bridges' performance was not recognized with an oscar(his finest understated yet difficult and complex role?), as well as moving performances by Kim Basinger and the whole cast. It's hard to believe that Jeff Bridges was *not* actually the character he played in this movie. Enjoy!

I have read the reviews and everyone misses why Kim Basinger is giving sex to the intern. She is trying to do justice to her dead teen aged sons. She realizes how horny teens are and how little sex that they get. So she gives all the sex to the young intern for multiple reasons. 1 she wants to make it better for one young man in memory of her dead teen sons and 2 she wants to step out of her constant catatonic state of depression. In the end, it energizes her enough to leave her dead marriage. The movie was spot on to the unraveling of a marriage due to the death of a child. Most marriages just simply can't survive this tragic and overwhelming loss. Instead of bring couples closer together, it invariably drives a wedge between them so that they are now forced to grieve alone. This was truly art imitating life. Usually people have to exercise in movie terms what is called "suspension of disbelief" in order to surrender themselves and immerse themselves into the story line. This movie grabs you by the throat and drags you into the story line. It has everything, tragedy, comedy, sex, violence and depression and in the end a surprise ending that defines the title of the movie.

Positive show about the sadness in life
I have this theory that a lot of what John Irving writes is to keep himself and us all passing open windows, or in this case, not opening doors in the floor. That is, he writes to stave off and to encourage us to stave off, the darkest abysses of depression, depression being a step towards death. The gist of what John Irving does seems to me to be in this film. The same New Hampshire freedom and luxurious generosity of spirit is there, the loveable characters, youth & age, children everywhere somehow and landscape and the sea. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I love John Irving's books and I could not resist to buy this film as I was intriqued how did they manage to translate the text into its visual form. Although the film cover only a third of the actual book, I loved it. It stayed true to the book and the performance of Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger were outstanding. Especially Jeff playes Ruth's father with such an intensity I alsmost felt being drawn inside the film myself. I usually read the books first and then watch the films but in this case, I think it would not hurt to see the film first and then go and buy the book as there is so much more to it and I guarantee you would want to know more.
