#Kent our souls at night book movie
In a scene from the movie Our Souls at Night, adapted from a Kent Haruf novel of the same name, Addie Moore and Louis Waters walk down a street in Holt. And both Redford and Fonda-especially Redford, I think-capture that essence particularly well.
Along the way, the characters exude the sort of warmth and soulfulness that Haruf so skillfully infused into all his books. In the book, which Haruf wrote in the months preceding his death, Addie and Louis make the most of their unconventional beginning it’s not only a chance at new love late in life, but, readers learn, it’s also an opportunity for each of them to work through missteps in past relationships. (I wrote a piece titled “ The Precious Ordinary” about his career and our brief friendship for this magazine in the spring of 2015.) I think Kent would have liked this movie. I got to know Haruf a little at the end of his life. That's only $1 per issue!

Redford acquired the rights to Haruf’s novel and produced the film as an original for Netflix he stars in the movie with Jane Fonda. It’s a fascinating start to what becomes a tender love story-one that evidently caught the attention of acclaimed actor and director Robert Redford. It’s about having someone around to help you get through the night.
In the opening chapter, Addie wanders over to Louis’ home and proposes something of a relationship, a “marriage-like question,” as she puts it: “I’m wondering if you would consider coming to my house sometime to sleep with me,” Addie says to Louis.Īddie’s suggestion isn’t meant to be sexual rather, it’s about companionship, an antidote for the somber feelings that can set in during lonely times. They’re neighbors in Holt, have each lost their spouses, and, now in their later years, both live alone. It’s a slender book in which Haruf, one of Colorado’s most celebrated authors, tells the warmhearted story of Addie Moore and Louis Waters. I first read Our Souls at Night, Kent Haruf’s posthumously published sixth novel, a little over two years ago when it was released. The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado.
