Reconstruct ion-er- a film based g Toni Monrison's novel, a slavery story not merely of abuse but also of survival and nurturing and maintaining a family for generations. As filmed by Jonathan Demme, this picture is a tribute to generations of women who paid extraordinary prices to keep their families free. Oprah Winfrey stars as an escaped slave who has a shocking secret in her tortured past. She also has the possibility of building a new life with another former slave (Danny Glover), but that is subordinated to the story of her relationship with her daughters, one of whom is the mysterious character nicknamed Beloved (Thandie Newton), a haunting figure w ho represents hope, survival and future generations.
