I recently saw Crimes of the Heart. It is based on the play by Beth Henley that was originally completed in 1978. The screenplay was also adapted by Beth Henley and the film was directed by Bruce Beresford.The film was released in 1986.
I really enjoyed this film, and it was cast absolutely perfectly. The film takes place over a period of a couple of days and focuses on the lives of three sisters. The eldest sister, Lenny (Diane Keaton) is turning into an old maid while taking care of their grandfather. Babe (Sissy Spacek), the youngest sister, has just shot her husband. Meg (Jessica Lange), the middle sister, has been trying to make it in Hollywood as a singer/actress, but has returned after hearing that Babe has been arrested and that their grandfather is dying.
I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!

I would love to see a stage production of Crimes of the Heart - the dialog is great and the dynamics between the cast shines in the movie. How about a recast for this movie? Who would be good?
