Iris was released in the year 1976。Iris is also called as Iris (2001/I), Poèmes pour Iris, Iris: Recuerdos imborrables, Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch, Iris-Egy csodálatos nöi elme, Iris V'John。

Iris, based on the life of revered British writer and philosopher Iris Murdoch, is a story of unlikely yet enduring love. As a young academic, teaching philosophy at Oxford, Murdoch (Kate Winslet/Judi Dench) meets and eventually falls in love with fellow professor John Bayley (Hugh Bonneville/Jim Broadbent), a man whose awkwardness seems in stark opposition to the spirited self-confidence of his future wife. The story unfolds as snippets of time, seen through Bayley's eyes. He recalls their first encounter over 40 years ago, activities they enjoyed doing together, and Iris' charismatic and individualistic personality. These images portray Murdoch as a vibrant young woman with great intellect and are contrasted with the novelist's later life, after the effects of Alzheimer's disease have ravaged her. Murdoch's great mind deteriorates until she is reduced to a mere vestige of her former self, unable to perform simple tasks and completely reliant on her at times frustrated yet devoted husband.

Iris actors and actresses include Hugh Bonneville, Jim Broadbent, Judi Dench, Kate Winslet, Penelope Wilton。
