Director Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age story of the March sisters confronting growing pains, financial shortages, family tragedies and romantic rivalries in mid-nineteenth-century Massachusetts.
Jo (Winona Ryder) struggles for independence and sometimes clashes with her beloved mother and her sisters Meg, Amy and Beth. She also contends with their cranky Aunt March, their impulsive neighbor Laurie (Christian Bale) and kindly linguistics professor Friedrich Bhaer (Gabriel Byrne).
