Uma Thurman's "The Life Before Her Eyes" to be shown
24/4/2008 10:10

Uma Thurman's new movie "The Life Before Her Eyes" will be on show nationalwide in America tomorrow-- an intense drama about a mother haunted by a horrific decision made as a teenager.

The movie was directed by Vadim Perelman who also made the 2003 dark drama "House of Sand and Fog."

"The Life Before Her Eyes" debuted in several US cities last week and will expand nationalwide on Friday.

In this movie Thurman plays Diana, an art-history teacher living a seemingly idyllic life, but is haunted by terrible events in her past as the film cuts back-and-forth between the present and events 15 years earlier.

She also took on the role of producer, helping shepherd a difficult story onto the screen.

"I developed it, kicked it around and kept it alive for years, so it was very satisfying to finally get it made," said Thurman.

Thurman, who turns 38 later this month, is a versatile actress. Perhaps she is best known for roles in director Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" movies.

The New York-based star has been married -- and divorced -- twice, first to Gary Oldman, then to Ethan Hawke with whom she has a 10-year-old daughter, Maya, and a 6-year-old son, Levon.

Would she ever consider getting married again? "I can't comment on that," is all she said. "But I'm doing well. I have my good days and bad, but they're getting better."
