At its core is the stormy, yet passionate relationship between the supernaturally gifted Clara (Meryl Streep) and her controlling husband Esteban (Jeremy Irons), who resists change both politically and personally. Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas and Vanessa Redgrave also star in this timeless story of secrets, seduction, revenge and forgiveness. Review "A handsome, ravishing film filled with understated miracles!" --The New York Times ## Images ![The House of the Spirits - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yCecjQCJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING! *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2022* There's. nothing to say, hands down the best book I ever read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film spoiled by lack of captions on DVD *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2013* This was a brilliant film in the same genre as Like Water for Chocolate, Love in the Time of Cholera, and In the Time of the Butterflies. I love films set in exotic locations, and sometimes feel that the US is unaware of Latin America and its vibrant culture. The casting was not quite to my taste as Glenn Close (too masculine) and Meryl Streep (too mannered and pretentious) are just about my least favorite actresses and Jeremey Irons is always suffering from self inflicted torture. I also thought that the actor who played the illegitimate son and Antonio Banderas should have switched roles, yet despite my personal preferences, everything in the film rose above them and I just loved it. They also captured the whimisical quality of the book in which the departed are still with us as spirits. The photography was superb, a feast for the eyes, and Hans Zimmer's score never intruded. I have long awaited this film released on DVD.So why did I only give it four stars? The DVD by Miramax and Echo Park did not have either captions or subtitles, and being seriously hearing impaired i.e 70% deaf, I rely on the captions. The lack of captions is inexcusable. As I have read the book I have an idea what is happening, but my enjoyment would be much greater if I knew what they were saying. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite film *by J***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2011* I don't know why one reviewer here is complaining so much about seven missing minutes and the lack of extras. This is one of our favorite films and for years we had to make do with my pan & scan VHS tape of 109 minutes. But even that tape seemed complete and coherent. I haven't read the novel but my wife who read it in English & in its original Spanish thought the filmmakers did a good job in condensing the elaborate story.We watched this so-called 'substandard' DVD and enjoyed the film more than before. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison with the tape but this longer version of 133 minutes seems better than ever. This widescreen version looked great on our new 42" TV. If you don't know what's missing in the 140 minute version, a debatable unnecessary prologue that I explain in detail on the COMMENTS section below, you won't care as we did. This film is one to watch again & again because of the many good performances enhanced by ageing makeup. Everyone who borrowed my tape loved this family saga about forgiveness and the cast. I expect the same reaction when they borrow my DVD. Buy it and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. As for the lack of extras - What do you expect for $6.99?? I'm happy the film is available at such a low price and plays better than my old tape. Meanwhile I can wait for a deluxe edition, hopefully a Criterion one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3975764-the-house-of-the-spirits](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3975764-the-house-of-the-spirits) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
