- Synopsis
- Bringing to life that 'queer sultry summer' of 1953, SYLVIA PLATH: INSIDE THE BELL JAR is the first film to unravel the story behind her seminal novel. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar exploded the myth that women were content. It shone a light on 1950s gender politics, sexual identity and mental health at a time when women struggled to find a voice. This BBC arts film has unprecedented access to people who knew Sylvia Plath, many of whom are talking publicly for the first time. It also features a rare interview with Plath's daughter Frieda Hughes.
